| | CONK! Encyclopedia: Unix_epoch |
| | The earliest versions of Unix time had a 32-bit integer incrementing at a rate of 60 Hz, which was the rate of the system clock on the hardware of the early Unix systems. | | | As a result, Unix times such as 915148799.50, apparently in the second preceding a leap second, are de facto ambiguous, as are (both de facto and de jure) times such as 915148800.50. | | | The Unix time number is zero at the Unix epoch, and increases by exactly 86400 per day since the epoch. |

| | unix epoch |
| | In computing, the Unix epoch (also known as Unix Time Stamp) is the representation of points in time as the number of non-leap seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1 1970, introduced by the Unix operating system, standardised in POSIX, and later adopted by the Java programming language and JavaScript. | | | The function 'time()' is used in the PHP language to output the Unix Time Stamp. | | | The time() function is used in the Perl programming language to retrieve the Unix epoch. |

| | Unix - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Unix |
| | Unix was developed by AT&T's Bell Laboratories in the USA during the late 1960s, using the programming language C. | | | Its wide range of functions and flexibility, together with the fact that it was available free of charge from 1976 to 1983, led to its wide use by universities and in commercial software. | | | At the end of 2003, SCO wrote to Fortune 1000 companies advising them that certain versions of Linux violated SCO's rights in Unix. |

| | Unix definition of Unix in computing dictionary - by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. |
| | Unix is written in C. Both Unix and C were developed by AT&T and freely distributed to government and academic institutions, causing it to be ported to a wider variety of machine families than any other operating system. | | | Unix was developed in 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at AT&T, who scaled down the sophisticated, multiuser MULTICS operating system for Digital's PDP-7. | | | Considerable enhancements were made to Unix at the University of California at Berkeley, and versions of Unix with the "Berkeley extensions" became widely used. |

| | Unix-like -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | The various BSD systems are notable in that they are in fact descendents of Unix, developed by the University of California at Berkeley with Unix source code from Bell Labs. | | | The first "Unix-like" operating systems (other than Bell Labs' Unix itself) were developed because of (Click link for more info and facts about AT&T) AT&T's licensing of the software, which prevented its sale for commercial purposes. | | | Meanwhile, non-commercial "Unix-like" operating systems were developed to serve as inexpensive or free substitutes for Unix. |

| | UNIX time is the method by which several key software systems—among them the UNIX OS and the Java programming language—measure time. | | | The problem this presents for UNIX time is that the addition of leap seconds occurs at irregular, somewhat arbitrary intervals, as the slowing of the Earth's rotation is not predictable over the long term. | | | Thus, in software terms, UNIX time is highly efficient. |
