Struct tor_netdoc::doc::netstatus::Lifetime

pub struct Lifetime { /* fields omitted */ }

The lifetime of a networkstatus document.

In a consensus, this type describes when the consensus may safely be used. In a vote, this type describes the proposed lifetime for a consensus.

Implementations

impl Lifetime

pub fn new(
    valid_after: SystemTime,
    fresh_until: SystemTime,
    valid_until: SystemTime
) -> Result<Self>

Construct a new Lifetime.

pub fn valid_after(&self) -> SystemTime

Return time when this consensus first becomes valid.

(You might see a consensus a little while before this time, since voting tries to finish up before the.)

pub fn fresh_until(&self) -> SystemTime

Return time when this consensus is no longer fresh.

You can use the consensus after this time, but there is (or is supposed to be) a better one by this point.

pub fn valid_until(&self) -> SystemTime

Return the time when this consensus is no longer valid.

You should try to get a better consensus after this time, though it’s okay to keep using this one if no more recent one can be found.
