Why? You're converting a time_t, so unixToStdTime explicitly uses
time_t. Its
size is system-dependent.
Because if your unix time is stored in a ulong, for whatever reason, you
may then have to cast to call this function.
time_t implicitly casts to ulong, no matter the system-defined size of
time_t. It's also more future-proof, for dates past 2038.
Is there a specific reason to disallow accepting ulong?
