45/// A measurement of a monotonically nondecreasing clock.
46/// Opaque and useful only with [`Duration`].
47///
48/// Instants are always guaranteed, barring [platform bugs], to be no less than any previously
49/// measured instant when created, and are often useful for tasks such as measuring
50/// benchmarks or timing how long an operation takes.
51///
52/// Note, however, that instants are **not** guaranteed to be **steady**. In other
53/// words, each tick of the underlying clock might not be the same length (e.g.
54/// some seconds may be longer than others). An instant may jump forwards or
55/// experience time dilation (slow down or speed up), but it will never go
56/// backwards.
57/// As part of this non-guarantee it is also not specified whether system suspends count as
58/// elapsed time or not. The behavior varies across platforms and Rust versions.
59///
60/// Instants are opaque types that can only be compared to one another. There is
61/// no method to get "the number of seconds" from an instant. Instead, it only
62/// allows measuring the duration between two instants (or comparing two
63/// instants).
64///
65/// The size of an `Instant` struct may vary depending on the target operating
66/// system.
67///
68/// Example:
69///
70/// ```no_run
71/// use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
72/// use std::thread::sleep;
73///
74/// fn main() {
75/// let now = Instant::now();
76///
77/// // we sleep for 2 seconds
78/// sleep(Duration::new(2, 0));

80/// println!("{}", now.elapsed().as_secs());
81/// }
82/// ```
83///
84/// [platform bugs]: Instant#monotonicity
85///
86/// # OS-specific behaviors
87///
88/// An `Instant` is a wrapper around system-specific types and it may behave
89/// differently depending on the underlying operating system. For example,
90/// the following snippet is fine on Linux but panics on macOS:
91///
92/// ```no_run
93/// use std::time::{Instant, Duration};
94///
95/// let now = Instant::now();
96/// let days_per_10_millennia = 365_2425;
97/// let solar_seconds_per_day = 60 * 60 * 24;
98/// let millennium_in_solar_seconds = 31_556_952_000;
99/// assert_eq!(millennium_in_solar_seconds, days_per_10_millennia * solar_seconds_per_day / 10);
100///
101/// let duration = Duration::new(millennium_in_solar_seconds, 0);
102/// println!("{:?}", now + duration);
103/// ```
104///
105/// For cross-platform code, you can comfortably use durations of up to around one hundred years.

135///
136/// ## Monotonicity
137///
138/// On all platforms `Instant` will try to use an OS API that guarantees monotonic behavior
139/// if available, which is the case for all [tier 1] platforms.
140/// In practice such guarantees are – under rare circumstances – broken by hardware, virtualization
141/// or operating system bugs. To work around these bugs and platforms not offering monotonic clocks
142/// [`duration_since`], [`elapsed`] and [`sub`] saturate to zero. In older Rust versions this
143/// lead to a panic instead. [`checked_duration_since`] can be used to detect and handle situations
144/// where monotonicity is violated, or `Instant`s are subtracted in the wrong order.
145///
146/// This workaround obscures programming errors where earlier and later instants are accidentally
147/// swapped. For this reason future Rust versions may reintroduce panics.
148///
149/// [tier 1]: http://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/platform-support.html
150/// [`duration_since`]: Instant::duration_since
151/// [`elapsed`]: Instant::elapsed
152/// [`sub`]: Instant::sub
153/// [`checked_duration_since`]: Instant::checked_duration_since
154///

158pub struct Instant(time::Instant);
159
160/// A measurement of the system clock, useful for talking to
161/// external entities like the file system or other processes.
162///
163/// Distinct from the [`Instant`] type, this time measurement **is not
164/// monotonic**. This means that you can save a file to the file system, then
165/// save another file to the file system, **and the second file has a
166/// `SystemTime` measurement earlier than the first**. In other words, an
167/// operation that happens after another operation in real time may have an
168/// earlier `SystemTime`!
169///
170/// Consequently, comparing two `SystemTime` instances to learn about the
171/// duration between them returns a [`Result`] instead of an infallible [`Duration`]
172/// to indicate that this sort of time drift may happen and needs to be handled.
173///
174/// Although a `SystemTime` cannot be directly inspected, the [`UNIX_EPOCH`]
175/// constant is provided in this module as an anchor in time to learn
176/// information about a `SystemTime`. By calculating the duration from this
177/// fixed point in time, a `SystemTime` can be converted to a human-readable time,
178/// or perhaps some other string representation.
179///
180/// The size of a `SystemTime` struct may vary depending on the target operating
181/// system.
182///
183/// A `SystemTime` does not count leap seconds.
184/// `SystemTime::now()`'s behavior around a leap second
185/// is the same as the operating system's wall clock.
186/// The precise behavior near a leap second
187/// (e.g. whether the clock appears to run slow or fast, or stop, or jump)
188/// depends on platform and configuration,
189/// so should not be relied on.
190///
191/// Example:
192///
193/// ```no_run
194/// use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime};
195/// use std::thread::sleep;
196///
197/// fn main() {
198/// let now = SystemTime::now();
199///
200/// // we sleep for 2 seconds
201/// sleep(Duration::new(2, 0));
202/// match now.elapsed() {
203/// Ok(elapsed) => {
204/// // it prints '2'
205/// println!("{}", elapsed.as_secs());
206/// }
207/// Err(e) => {
208/// // the system clock went backwards!
209/// println!("Great Scott! {e:?}");
210/// }
211/// }
212/// }
213/// ```
214///
215/// # Platform-specific behavior
216///
217/// The precision of `SystemTime` can depend on the underlying OS-specific time format.
218/// For example, on Windows the time is represented in 100 nanosecond intervals whereas Linux
219/// can represent nanosecond intervals.
