POSIXct is the signed number of seconds since “the epoch”. For example it was
- 1351298112 UTC (GMT)
when I wrote this. (1351298112 UTC = Sat Oct 27, 2:35 am GMT = Fri Oct 26, 8:35 pm EST = Fri Oct 26, 5:35 pm PST = 2:35 pm HST)
POSIXlt is one of many text | character | string formats such as:
- May 17, 2017
- 17/5/2017
- 17-5-17 05:24:39
