CONVSECS()

FUNCTION: convsecs(<seconds> [, <zonename>][, <precision>])

By default, this function converts an integer (representing a count of seconds from Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 UTC) to a local time string -- where local time is the time at the machine running the MUX. This conversion includes a timezone/daylight savings time conversion between UTC and the local time zone.

If a second argument is given, it is the <zonename>:

local - indicates that a conversion for timezone/DST of the 'local' server time should be applied (the default).

utc - indicates that no timezone/DST conversions should be applied. When used this way, there is a unique one-to-one relationship between an integer and it's corresponding text-string which may be useful for handling other time zones and fictional settings.

<precision> determines the number of fractional seconds shown. By default, no fractional seconds are shown.
