Struct cap_primitives::time::SystemClock

pub struct SystemClock(_);

A reference to a system clock, useful for talking to external entities like the file system or other processes.

This does not directly correspond to anything in std, however its methods correspond to methods in std::time::SystemTime.

Implementations

impl SystemClock

pub const UNIX_EPOCH: SystemTime

An anchor in time which can be used to create new SystemTime instances or learn about where in time a SystemTime lies.

This corresponds to std::time::SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.

pub const fn new(_: AmbientAuthority) -> Self

Constructs a new instance of Self.

Ambient Authority

This uses ambient authority to accesses clocks.

pub fn now(&self) -> SystemTime

Returns an instant corresponding to “now”.

This corresponds to std::time::SystemTime::now.

pub fn elapsed(
    &self,
    system_time: SystemTime
) -> Result<Duration, SystemTimeError>

Returns the amount of time elapsed since this instant was created.

This corresponds to std::time::SystemTime::elapsed.
