thetime

Simple Rust library for time

• builds on top of std, chrono and time
• very simple and intuitive to use
• wraps some very useful functions that are usually buried deep in modules
• has extensive support for unusual epochs

Examples

use thetime::{System, Time};
println!("It has been {} seconds since 1 Jan 1970", System::now().unix());

Which traits you need

// Basic functionality
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time};

// Diff functions
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, TimeDiff};

// String direct strptime
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, StrTime};

// Timestamp int conversion
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, IntTime}
