Struct Instant 

pub struct Instant(/* private fields */);

Available on crate feature std only.

A measurement of a monotonically nondecreasing clock. Opaque and useful only with Duration.

Instants are always guaranteed, barring platform bugs, to be no less than any previously measured instant when created, and are often useful for tasks such as measuring benchmarks or timing how long an operation takes.

Note, however, that instants are not guaranteed to be steady. In other words, each tick of the underlying clock might not be the same length (e.g. some seconds may be longer than others). An instant may jump forwards or experience time dilation (slow down or speed up), but it will never go backwards. As part of this non-guarantee it is also not specified whether system suspends count as elapsed time or not. The behavior varies across platforms and Rust versions.

Instants are opaque types that can only be compared to one another. There is no method to get “the number of seconds” from an instant. Instead, it only allows measuring the duration between two instants (or comparing two instants).

The size of an Instant struct may vary depending on the target operating system.

OS-specific behaviors

An Instant is a wrapper around system-specific types and it may behave differently depending on the underlying operating system.

See the standard library documentation for more.

Underlying System calls

See the standard library documentation for the system calls used to get the current time using now().

Implementations

impl Instant

pub const NONE: Self

Returns a “none” value

pub fn now() -> Self

Returns an instant corresponding to “now”.

Examples

use easytime::Instant;

let now = Instant::now();

pub fn duration_since(&self, earlier: Self) -> Duration

Returns the amount of time elapsed from another instant to this one, or zero duration if that instant is later than this one.

Examples

use std::{thread::sleep, time};

use easytime::Instant;

let now = Instant::now();
sleep(time::Duration::new(1, 0));
let new_now = Instant::now();
println!("{:?}", new_now.duration_since(now));
println!("{:?}", now.duration_since(new_now)); // Some(0ns)

pub fn elapsed(&self) -> Duration

Returns the amount of time elapsed since this instant.

Examples

use std::{thread::sleep, time};

use easytime::Instant;

let instant = Instant::now();
let three_secs = time::Duration::from_secs(3);
sleep(three_secs);
assert!(instant.elapsed() >= three_secs);

pub const fn is_some(&self) -> bool

Returns true if into_inner returns Some.

pub const fn is_none(&self) -> bool

Returns true if into_inner returns None.

pub const fn into_inner(self) -> Option<Instant>

Returns the contained std::time::Instant or None.

pub const fn unwrap_or(self, default: Instant) -> Instant

Returns the contained std::time::Instant or a default.

instant.unwrap_or(default) is equivalent to instant.into_inner().unwrap_or(default).

pub fn unwrap_or_else<F>(self, default: F) -> Instant

where F: FnOnce() -> Instant,

Returns the contained std::time::Instant or computes it from a closure.

instant.unwrap_or_else(default) is equivalent to instant.into_inner().unwrap_or_else(default).
