The combination is complete. Since Node.js uses ECMAScript Date objects, there is only millisecond resolution.\n- ext4 and Android has nanosecond time resolution since long time\n- Most Linux utilities still drop sub-seconds and Linux cannot display birth date easily\n- Some Android won't give you UTC allowing you to create lots of bugs calculating it\n\nHere's Linux human readable\n\n``` bash\nstat 0 --format %z\n2016-06-14 00:50:44.920739523 -0700\n```\n\n> uname --all && node --version\n> Linux c89 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux\n> v6.4.0\n\nI have some utilities moving large data around that uses recursive md5 and metadata before-after to verify integrity\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/haraldrudell","@type":"Person","name":"haraldrudell"},"datePublished":"2016-08-26T07:12:52Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/8276"}
