Crate ntp 

Example

Shows how to use the ntp library to fetch the current time according to the requested ntp server.

extern crate chrono;
extern crate ntp;

use chrono::TimeZone;

fn main() {
    let address = "time.nist.gov:123";
    let result = ntp::request(address).unwrap();
    let unix_time = ntp::unix_time::Instant::from(result.transmit_timestamp);
    let local_time = chrono::Local.timestamp_opt(unix_time.secs(), unix_time.subsec_nanos() as _).unwrap();
    println!("{}", local_time);
    println!("Offset: {:.6} seconds", result.offset_seconds);
}
