moment->date or moment ... -> ... epoch-seconds

[Geoffrey Knauth]

I was using Racket's date. Then I found it was creating a local time when I needed UTC. So I started using moments from (require gregor). Now I'm trying to figure out how to get either a regular date from a moment, or better, how I can get epoch seconds (from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z) from a moment. I suppose I could compute the since-epoch seconds difference myself, I just don't know if it's in there already and I just missed it.

I solved my immediate problem by going back to dates and using:

(seconds->date secs-n [local-time?]) → date*?
secs-n : real?
local-time? : any/c = #t

and supplying #f as local-time.

I believe ->posix[1] is the function you're looking for
