Struct Duration

pub struct Duration {
    pub seconds: i64,
    pub nanos: i32,
}

A Duration represents a signed, fixed-length span of time represented as a count of seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution. It is independent of any calendar and concepts like “day” or “month”. It is related to Timestamp in that the difference between two Timestamp values is a Duration and it can be added or subtracted from a Timestamp. Range is approximately +-10,000 years.

Examples

Example 1: Compute Duration from two Timestamps in pseudo code.

 Timestamp start = ...;
 Timestamp end = ...;
 Duration duration = ...;

 duration.seconds = end.seconds - start.seconds;
 duration.nanos = end.nanos - start.nanos;

 if (duration.seconds < 0 && duration.nanos > 0) {
   duration.seconds += 1;
   duration.nanos -= 1000000000;
 } else if (duration.seconds > 0 && duration.nanos < 0) {
   duration.seconds -= 1;
   duration.nanos += 1000000000;
 }

Example 2: Compute Timestamp from Timestamp + Duration in pseudo code.

 Timestamp start = ...;
 Duration duration = ...;
 Timestamp end = ...;

 end.seconds = start.seconds + duration.seconds;
 end.nanos = start.nanos + duration.nanos;

 if (end.nanos < 0) {
   end.seconds -= 1;
   end.nanos += 1000000000;
 } else if (end.nanos >= 1000000000) {
   end.seconds += 1;
   end.nanos -= 1000000000;
 }

Example 3: Compute Duration from datetime.timedelta in Python.

 td = datetime.timedelta(days=3, minutes=10)
 duration = Duration()
 duration.FromTimedelta(td)

JSON Mapping

In JSON format, the Duration type is encoded as a string rather than an object, where the string ends in the suffix “s” (indicating seconds) and is preceded by the number of seconds, with nanoseconds expressed as fractional seconds. For example, 3 seconds with 0 nanoseconds should be encoded in JSON format as “3s”, while 3 seconds and 1 nanosecond should be expressed in JSON format as “3.000000001s”, and 3 seconds and 1 microsecond should be expressed in JSON format as “3.000001s”.

Fields

seconds: i64

Signed seconds of the span of time. Must be from -315,576,000,000 to +315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years

nanos: i32

Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive or negative nanos field. For durations of one second or more, a non-zero value for the nanos field must be of the same sign as the seconds field. Must be from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999 inclusive.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Duration

fn clone(&self) -> Duration

Returns a duplicate of the value.

const fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Duration

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Duration

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Message for Duration

fn encoded_len(&self) -> usize

Returns the encoded length of the message without a length delimiter.

fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the message, resetting all fields to their default.

fn encode(&self, buf: &mut impl BufMut) -> Result<(), EncodeError>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message to a buffer.

fn encode_to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message to a newly allocated buffer.

fn encode_length_delimited( &self, buf: &mut impl BufMut, ) -> Result<(), EncodeError>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message with a length-delimiter to a buffer.

fn encode_length_delimited_to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message with a length-delimiter to a newly allocated buffer.

fn decode(buf: impl Buf) -> Result<Self, DecodeError>

where Self: Default,

Decodes an instance of the message from a buffer.

fn decode_length_delimited(buf: impl Buf) -> Result<Self, DecodeError>

impl PartialEq for Duration

fn eq(&self, other: &Duration) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
