`dtunix(X;Y)`

Return a 1010 timestamp (date+time) value given an integer, bigint, or floating-point value representing Unix-epoch time. (Available as of version 18.04)

Syntax

dtunix(X;Y)

Input

Argument	Type	Description
`X`	any numeric type	A scalar value or the name of a column representing Unix-epoch time.
`Y`	text	Options for `dtunix(X;Y)` are currently ignored.

The Unix-epoch time is the number of whole seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 at UTC. dtunix(X;Y) can take an integer, bigint, or floating-point value representing Unix-epoch time and return a date+time value.

Return Value

Returns a signed float value in the form XXXX.YYYYYYYYYYY, that can be expressed in a date+time format (such as type:datehms24).

The date+time format uses 1/1/2035 as the epoch (or reference) point. Specifically, the value XXXX.YYYYYYYYYYY is a signed float representing the number of days before or after the epoch. This value is typically negative, because the date+time is usually before the epoch. For more information about date formats, see Dates and time.

Example

The following example converts a Unix-epoch time to the date format datehms24.

<table cols="unix_epoch">
1607554906
1609556010
1630605577
</table>

<willbe name="date_time_converted" value="dtunix(unix_epoch;)" format="type:datehms24"/>
