  6. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Unix time by design does not require a specific size for the storage, but most common implementations of Unix time use a signed integer with the same size as the word size of the underlying hardware. As the majority of modern computers are 32-bit or 64-bit , and a large number of programs are still written in 32-bit compatibility mode, this ...

    To resolve ambiguity, "P1M" is a one-month duration and "PT1M" is a one-minute duration (note the time designator, T, that precedes the time value). The smallest value used may also have a decimal fraction, [39] as in "P0.5Y" to indicate half a year. This decimal fraction may be specified with either a comma or a full stop, as in "P0,5Y" or "P0 ...
