Struct core::time::Duration

pub struct Duration { /* private fields */ }

A Duration type to represent a span of time, typically used for system timeouts.

Each Duration is composed of a whole number of seconds and a fractional part represented in nanoseconds. If the underlying system does not support nanosecond-level precision, APIs binding a system timeout will typically round up the number of nanoseconds.

Durations implement many common traits, including Add, Sub, and other ops traits. It implements Default by returning a zero-length Duration.

Examples

use std::time::Duration;

let five_seconds = Duration::new(5, 0);
let five_seconds_and_five_nanos = five_seconds + Duration::new(0, 5);

assert_eq!(five_seconds_and_five_nanos.as_secs(), 5);
assert_eq!(five_seconds_and_five_nanos.subsec_nanos(), 5);

let ten_millis = Duration::from_millis(10);

Formatting Duration values

Duration intentionally does not have a Display impl, as there are a variety of ways to format spans of time for human readability. Duration provides a Debug impl that shows the full precision of the value.

The Debug output uses the non-ASCII “µs” suffix for microseconds. If your program output may appear in contexts that cannot rely on full Unicode compatibility, you may wish to format Duration objects yourself or use a crate to do so.

Implementations

impl Duration

pub const SECOND: Duration = _

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (duration_constants #57391)

The duration of one second.

Examples

#![feature(duration_constants)]

assert_eq!(Duration::SECOND, Duration::from_secs(1));

pub const MILLISECOND: Duration = _

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (duration_constants #57391)

The duration of one millisecond.

Examples

#![feature(duration_constants)]
use std::time::Duration;

assert_eq!(Duration::MILLISECOND, Duration::from_millis(1));

pub const MICROSECOND: Duration = _

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (duration_constants #57391)

The duration of one microsecond.

Examples

#![feature(duration_constants)]
use std::time::Duration;

let duration = Duration::ZERO;
assert!(duration.is_zero());
assert_eq!(duration.as_nanos(), 0);

pub const MAX: Duration = _

The maximum duration.

May vary by platform as necessary. Must be able to contain the difference between two instances of Instant or two instances of SystemTime. This constraint gives it a value of about 584,942,417,355 years in practice, which is currently used on all platforms.

Examples

use std::time::Duration;

assert_eq!(Duration::MAX, Duration::new(u64::MAX, 1_000_000_000 - 1));

pub const fn new(secs: u64, nanos: u32) -> Duration

Creates a new Duration from the specified number of whole seconds and additional nanoseconds.

If the number of nanoseconds is greater than 1 billion (the number of nanoseconds in a second), then it will carry over into the seconds provided.

Panics

This constructor will panic if the carry from the nanoseconds overflows the seconds counter.

Examples

use std::time::Duration;

let five_seconds = Duration::new(5, 0);

pub const fn from_secs(secs: u64) -> Duration

Creates a new Duration from the specified number of whole seconds.

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Duration) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Sub for Duration

type Output = Duration

The resulting type after applying the - operator.

fn sub(self, rhs: Duration) -> Duration

Performs the - operation.

impl SubAssign for Duration

fn sub_assign(&mut self, rhs: Duration)

Performs the -= operation.

impl<'a> Sum<&'a Duration> for Duration

fn sum<I: Iterator<Item = &'a Duration>>(iter: I) -> Duration
