Struct Timestamp 

pub struct Timestamp {
    pub seconds: i64,
    pub nanos: u32,
}

A moment in time as the API holds it: seconds and nanoseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

It prints as RFC 3339 (2026-10-06T09:30:00.25Z), orders by time, and comes from the system’s clock with SystemTime::now().into(). A time crate takes the two fields: jiff::Timestamp::new(t.seconds, t.nanos as i32), chrono::DateTime::from_timestamp(t.seconds, t.nanos).

Fields

seconds: i64

Whole seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z; negative before it.

nanos: u32

Nanoseconds after seconds: 0 to 999,999,999.

Implementations

impl Timestamp

pub fn to_system_time(self) -> Option<SystemTime>

The same moment on the system’s clock. None = that clock cannot hold it, as Windows’ cannot a time before 1601.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Timestamp

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Timestamp

impl Debug for Timestamp

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Timestamp

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Timestamp

From the API’s JSON. A field this version does not know is refused, as the API refuses one it does not have.

fn deserialize<D: Deserializer<'de>>(deserializer: D) -> Result<Self, D::Error>

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Timestamp

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for Timestamp

impl From<SystemTime> for Timestamp

fn from(time: SystemTime) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl Hash for Timestamp

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Timestamp

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

fn clamp_to<R>(self, range: R) -> Self

where Self: Sized, R: ClampBounds<Self>,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (clamp_to)

Restrict a value to a certain range.

impl PartialEq for Timestamp

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

Equality operator ==.

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

Inequality operator !=.

impl PartialOrd for Timestamp

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

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

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

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

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

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

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

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

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for Timestamp

As the API’s JSON: the proto’s field names, an enum as its value’s name, a 64-bit integer as a string, a time as RFC 3339, bytes as base64.

fn serialize<S: Serializer>(&self, serializer: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
