std.time.clock

struct

Public Struct Instant Implements Comparable, Hashable, Printable, Defaultable

A reading of the monotonic clock: nanoseconds since a moment of its own, which only means something beside the program's other Instants.

Examples

Local start = Instant.FromNanoseconds(1_000)
Local later = start + 2.Seconds
Expect(later - start == 2.Seconds && start < later)
Expect(Instant.Now().Elapsed >= Duration.Zero())

Public Static Method Now(): Instant static method #

Now, as the clock counts it.
Public Static Method FromNanoseconds(count: Int64): Instant static method #

The Instant that many nanoseconds after the clock's start, for code that gives the time.
Public Static Method DefaultValue(): Instant static method #

The clock's reading of 0 nanoseconds.
Public Property Nanoseconds: Int64 property #

How many nanoseconds after the clock's start it is.
Public Property Elapsed: Duration property #

How long it's been since it, now.
@PanicsAtCaller Operator +(a: Instant, b: Duration): Instant operator #

b after a. Past what an Int64 of nanoseconds holds, about 292 years, it overflows as an Int64 does.
@PanicsAtCaller Operator -(a: Instant, b: Duration): Instant operator #

b before a. Past what an Int64 of nanoseconds holds, about 292 years, it overflows as an Int64 does.
@PanicsAtCaller Operator -(a: Instant, b: Instant): Duration operator #

How long it is from b to a. Past what an Int64 of nanoseconds holds, about 292 years, it overflows as an Int64 does.
Operator <(a: Instant, b: Instant): Bool operator #

Whether a is before b.
Public Method ToString(): String method #

How long after the clock's start it is, like "1h2m3.5s".
