Struct TaiTimestamp 

pub struct TaiTimestamp(/* private fields */);

A point on International Atomic Time, in nanoseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00 TAI.

TAI never steps for a leap second, which is why PTP keeps it, and runs ahead of UTC by every leap second since 1972. The offset between them is the one the kernel holds, which a time service sets, so a TaiTimestamp never mixes with a Timestamp. It is written as RFC 3339’s date and time in the zone TAI, and parses back from it.

Examples

use t2t_core::{TaiTimestamp, Timedelta};

let synced: TaiTimestamp = "2026-09-16T07:46:12.5 TAI".parse()?;
let next = synced + Timedelta::from_millis(500);

assert_eq!(next.to_string(), "2026-09-16T07:46:13.000000000 TAI", "half a second on");
