Struct Interval 

pub struct Interval { /* private fields */ }

The interval the path is built for, in seconds from the epoch.

A signature is placed in an interval rather than at an instant, because what a timestamp proves is an upper bound and the lower one is usually unknown. A certificate takes part in a path only where it was valid across the whole of it: resolving at one end would let a signature made before a certificate existed pass on the strength of a later moment.

Seconds rather than a Time, because a Time is how a certificate wrote a moment, and this interval is not something a certificate wrote.

Implementations

impl Interval

pub fn between(first: i64, second: i64) -> Self

The interval between two moments, whichever way round the caller hands them: an interval is a pair of bounds, not an ordering.

pub fn at(moment: i64) -> Self

The interval that is one moment, which is what a caller has when the signing time is known exactly and nothing wider has to be covered.

pub fn from(self) -> i64

The earlier bound.

pub fn to(self) -> i64

The later bound.
