Gregory's Serveriliazeus, at least PHP's time() returns unixtime in seconds so there are examples of both.

 iliazeus, iirc it's also popular in binary file formats to store timestamps as unixtime in seconds.  |

@grishka well, PHP's stdlib was basically starting as thin wrappers over C stdlib functions.
Python also has it in seconds, but it does this weird thing where its timestamps are floating-point.
C# seems to use 100-microsecond "ticks".
Go uses nanoseconds, iirc.
So yeah, it's even more ambiguous.
If I have a choice, I usually prefer ISO 8601 strings myself. They're standard, unambiguous, human-readable, and even sortable as strings.
