-Converts an integer to RFC3339 timestamp format (`YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00.000000000Z`).
-Input is parsed as a [Unix nanosecond timestamp](/influxdb/version/reference/glossary/#unix-timestamp)
+Converts an integer (Unix timestamp in seconds) to a timestamp value.
+The underlying result is a timestamp (`Timestamp(TimeUnit::Second, None)`).
+In query results, JSON, CSV, and "pretty" formats render the timestamp as an ISO 8601 string (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS`, without a timezone indicator).
+When output to Parquet, the raw integer value (for example, `1641042000`) is preserved.
