[rrd-users] Re: --start, format help!

[Warnes, Jason SDH]

To expand a bit on Alex van den Bogaerdt's explanation:

This is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC is actually the French acromyn for
this).  It is the number of time in seconds that has expired since the
epoch, which was defined as January 1st, 1970 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).  If
you're a Windows user you've probably nevery been exposed to the epoch
thing.  But if you're a UNIX user this is probably pretty familiar stuff.

--start|-b start time (default: now - 10s)

Specifies the time in seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC when the first value
should be added to the RRD. rrdtool will not accept any data timed before or
at the time specified.

Can someone explain the format of this?
