如何正确使用time.Parse从Unix时间字符串创建时间对象？

Question

We are trying to parse a unix timestamp, which is available as a string, into a time object, however, the following does not work:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"time"
)

func main() {
    t, _ := time.Parse(time.UnixDate, "1393344464")
    fmt.Printf("%v", t)
}

It keeps returning 0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC. Go Playground.

First of all, you have an error and you're not checking it: http://play.golang.org/p/7ruFfv5QHT which is bad practice (these errors are helpful for debugging! :) use them!)

UnixDate is for unix string representations of dates; not timestamps. From the source: UnixDate = "Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 MST 2006".

Use time.Unix:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    t := time.Unix(1393324260, 0)
    fmt.Printf("%v", t)
}
