Struct Time 

pub struct Time<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Time utilities accessor for RuntimeContext

Durations are plain core::time::Duration; instants are u64 nanoseconds from an arbitrary monotonic epoch (only differences between two readings are meaningful).

Implementations

impl Time<'_>

pub fn now(&self) -> u64

Monotonic clock reading in nanoseconds from an arbitrary epoch.

Never decreases; saturates at u64::MAX rather than wrapping.

pub fn unix_time(&self) -> Option<(u64, u32)>

Wall-clock time as (seconds, nanoseconds) since the Unix epoch, if the runtime has a real-time clock (None on e.g. a bare MCU without an RTC anchor).

pub fn sleep(&self, duration: Duration) -> BoxFuture

Completes after at least duration has elapsed.

The future is boxed (it crosses the dyn RuntimeOps boundary), so each call costs one small heap allocation. That is fine for periodic loops and timeouts; in a no_std hot path that sleeps every iteration, await the adapter’s native timer (e.g. embassy_time::Timer) directly instead.

pub fn sleep_millis(&self, ms: u64) -> BoxFuture

Convenience: sleep for ms milliseconds.

pub fn sleep_secs(&self, secs: u64) -> BoxFuture

Convenience: sleep for secs seconds.
