Type Alias tai_time::MonotonicTime

pub type MonotonicTime = TaiTime<0>;

Recommended TaiTime alias for the general case, using an epoch set at 1970-01-01 00:00:00 TAI.

The epoch of this timestamp coincides with the PTP epoch as defined by the IEEE 1588-2008 standard, and with the TAI64 epoch. It is, however, distinct from the Unix epoch, which is set at 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

When no specific epoch is required, this timestamp should be considered the most sensible default as it makes it possible to easily convert TAI timestamps to Unix timestamps by simple subtraction of the TAI - UTC leap seconds.

Examples

use tai_time::MonotonicTime;

// Set the timestamp one nanosecond after the 1970 TAI epoch.
let mut timestamp = MonotonicTime::new(0, 1);

assert_eq!(timestamp, "1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000001".parse().unwrap());
