Expand description

Temporal quantification.

§Examples

There are multiple ways to create a new Duration:

let five_seconds = Duration::from_secs(5);
assert_eq!(five_seconds, Duration::from_millis(5_000));
assert_eq!(five_seconds, Duration::from_micros(5_000_000));
assert_eq!(five_seconds, Duration::from_nanos(5_000_000_000));

let ten_seconds = Duration::from_secs(10);
let seven_nanos = Duration::from_nanos(7);
let total = ten_seconds + seven_nanos;
assert_eq!(total, Duration::new(10, 7));

Using Instant to calculate how long a function took to run:

let now = Instant::now();

// Calling a slow function, it may take a while
slow_function();

let elapsed_time = now.elapsed();
println!("Running slow_function() took {} seconds.", elapsed_time.as_secs());

Structs§

  • A Duration type to represent a span of time, typically used for system timeouts.
  • A measurement of a monotonically nondecreasing clock. Opaque and useful only with Duration.
  • A measurement of the system clock, useful for talking to external entities like the file system or other processes.
  • An error returned from the duration_since and elapsed methods on SystemTime, used to learn how far in the opposite direction a system time lies.
  • An error which can be returned when converting a floating-point value of seconds into a Duration.

Constants§

  • An anchor in time which can be used to create new SystemTime instances or learn about where in time a SystemTime lies.
