The last modification date stamp (and with DELWATCH 2.0+ also the file deletion date stamp, and since DOS 7.0+ optionally also the last access date stamp and creation date stamp), are stored in the directory entry with the year represented as an unsigned seven bit number (0–127), relative to 1980, and thereby unable to indicate any dates in ...
Many computer systems measure time and date using Unix time, an international standard for digital timekeeping. Unix time is defined as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (an arbitrarily chosen time based on the creation of the first Unix system), which has been dubbed the Unix epoch. [6]
For dst rules that specify local event times, the timestamp is the sum of: timestamp = current year + dst_month + dst_day + dst_time (all in seconds) local time Adjust local time to UTC by subtracting utc_offset: timestamp = timestamp - utc_offset (in seconds) For dst_end timestamp, subtract an hour for DST timestamp = timestamp - 3600 (in ...
In software development, time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU, TOCTTOU or TOC/TOU) is a class of software bugs caused by a race condition involving the checking of the state of a part of a system (such as a security credential) and the use of the results of that check.

Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was cached rather than the current time. Alternative: To generate a formatted date stamp with the current date and time, use five tildes (~~~~~) to output: 04:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC). In some templates, five tildes is the preferred way to add the date.
Some file archivers and some version control software, when they copy a file from some remote computer to the local computer, adjust the timestamps of the local file to show the date/time in the past when that file was created or modified on that remote computer, rather than the date/time when that file was copied to the local computer.
The following Windows C++ code is an example of a Category 1 leap year bug. It will work properly until the current date becomes February 29 of a leap year. Then, it will modify st to represent February 29 of a common year, a date which does not actually exist. Passing st to any function that accepts a SYSTEMTIME struct as a parameter will ...
