Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unix epoch?
Unix epoch is January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. All Unix timestamps are seconds (or milliseconds) elapsed since this moment. It is the standard time representation in computing. Note: systems using 32-bit timestamps will overflow on January 19, 2038 (Year 2038 problem).
When is Year 2038 problem?
January 19, 2038 when 32-bit integers overflow.
Can I use this in production?
This tool is designed for development and testing. For production use established libraries with security audits.
