UnixTime Struct

Definition

Namespace: DataStandardizer.Chronology

A point in time expressed as the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC), stored internally as a signed 64-bit integer.

public readonly struct UnixTime : ISystemTime

Remarks

Implicit conversions let a UnixTime be used interchangeably with a long. The SystemTimeExtensions, DateTimeExtensions, DateOnlyExtensions, and TimeOnlyExtensions classes provide conversions to and from the BCL date/time types.
