This should give you more information about it.
Code:
$ man localtime

I'm not sure if there's a standard utility for converting long -> date format.

If you have perl installed, this should do the trick:
Code:
$ cat x.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime( 1154647335 );
$year+=1900; $mon++;

printf "%02d-%02d-%04d\n" , $mday , $mon , $year;


$ x.pl
