powerliners 0.2.12

1:1 Rust port of powerline/powerline. The ultimate statusline/prompt utility
Documentation
// vim:fileencoding=utf-8:noet
//! Port of `powerline/lib/monotonic.py`.
//!
//! The upstream file is a 100-line tower of Python 2/3 + Windows / macOS
//! / Linux compatibility shims selecting the best available monotonic
//! clock source. The whole file boils down to one logical operation:
//! "give me a monotonic timestamp in seconds (float)."
//!
//! Rust's `std::time::Instant` is the canonical monotonic clock — it
//! is portable across Unix, macOS, and Windows, uses the OS's best
//! monotonic source automatically (`CLOCK_MONOTONIC` on Linux,
//! `mach_absolute_time` on macOS, `QueryPerformanceCounter` on
//! Windows), and requires zero conditional-compilation.
//!
//! Behaviour notes:
//!
//! - Upstream's Python 3.3+ `time.monotonic()` path corresponds to
//!   Rust's `Instant::now()`. Both are monotonic and don't go
//!   backwards.
//! - Upstream's `CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW` preference (when available)
//!   gives a NTP-unaffected counter. Rust does not expose `_RAW`
//!   directly on Linux (`Instant` uses `CLOCK_MONOTONIC`); the
//!   difference is negligible (~ms drift over hours of NTP slewing)
//!   for the segment-render use case powerline-status needs this for.

/// definitions depending on platform).

/// in this process — a monotonic, non-decreasing wall-clock-independent

/// to nanoseconds: `ns = ticks * numer / denom`.
///
/// The Rust port calls `libc::mach_timebase_info` directly. Used as a
/// support helper for the darwin-specific `monotonic()` body at
/// py:64-65; the canonical `monotonic()` above uses
/// `std::time::Instant` which internally calls the same syscall on
/// macOS, so this helper is exposed for parity rather than to drive
/// the runtime clock.
