== Summary ==
The **Date/Time to Unix Epoch** component converts a given date and time value into a Unix Epoch timestamp.  
Optionally, the output can include milliseconds for higher precision.  

== Description ==
This component is useful for timekeeping, logging, scheduling, and synchronizing events across systems.  
Unix Epoch represents the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since **January 1, 1970 (UTC)**, and is a standard format used in many platforms and protocols.
