How to convert epoch timestamp to unix hex timestamp in kotlin?

Question

I am using the following code to get the current epoch time in kotlin.

val epochTime = Instant.now().toEpochMilli()

Output: 1628769521313

And now the question is how can I convert this timestamp to Unix hex timestamp (https://www.epochconverter.com/hex)

Thank you in advance

A Unix timestamp — also the one in your link — is in seconds, not milliseconds since the Unix epoch. So you probably want `Instant.now().toEpochSecond()`rather than `toEpochMilli()`. — Ole V.V., Aug 13 '21 at 15:35

All that is required as far as I can see is that the decimal epoch output needs to be converted into a hexidecimal string.

This can be achieved simply by

"%X".format(1628769521313).

this was taken from this answer. You can see many other ways of doing the same thing in that question too.
