Conversion between EPOCH and UNIX formats.

1 2	epoch_to_unix(epoch, date, tz = "UTC") unix_to_epoch(unix, origin = "1970-01-01", tz = "UTC", returnChar = TRUE)

`epoch`	[character] Character string of the date in EPOCH format. The only accepted formats are "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" or "%H:%M:%S"
`date`	[character] If `epoch` is given in "%H:%M:%S" format, date in format "%Y-%m-%d" can be provided.
`unix`	[numeric] Time or date in unix format.
`origin`	[character] For `unix_to_epoch`, the date of reference in format "%Y-%m-%d". [Default: "1970-01-01"]
`tz`	[character] Time zone. [Default: "UTC"]
`returnChar`	[boolean] If `TRUE` [default], then the epoch format is returned as a character string. In other case, it is returned as `POSIX` class.

epoch_to_unix return a numeric (UNIX format). unix_to_epoch returns a character or POSIXct (EPOCH format).
