Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates.
A Unix timestamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the Unix timestamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch.
Unix timestamps are commonly used in programming, databases, and APIs because they provide a consistent, timezone-independent way to represent a point in time.
