Re: What does the number in the binary log file name mean?

[Bamm Visscher <bamm () satx rr com>]

Time in seconds since Epoch (Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC).

Some versions of `date` can convert the time using the -r switch:

bash-2.05b# date -r 1079665201
Thu Mar 18 21:00:01 CST 2004

Seems my FreeBSD system does, my Linux box doesn't :/
