All definitions of the Epoch have been refactored to the following: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC) That form is more consistent, logical, precise, and internationally recognizable than the other variants. Also, some wording has been altered as well. Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
