//! ### Duration
|
||||
//! ### Time delta / Duration
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Chrono currently uses its own [`Duration`] type to represent the magnitude
|
||||
//! of a time span. Since this has the same name as the newer, standard type for
|
||||
//! duration, the reference will refer this type as `OldDuration`.
|
||||
//! Chrono has a [`TimeDelta`] type to represent the magnitude of a time span. This is an
|
||||
//! "accurate" duration represented as seconds and nanoseconds, and does not represent "nominal"
|
||||
//! components such as days or months.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Note that this is an "accurate" duration represented as seconds and
|
||||
//! nanoseconds and does not represent "nominal" components such as days or
|
||||
//! months.
|
||||
//! The [`TimeDelta`] type was previously named `Duration` (and is still available as a type alias
|
||||
//! with that name). A notable difference with the similar [`core::time::Duration`] is that it is a
|
||||
//! signed value instead of unsigned.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Chrono does not yet natively support
|
||||
//! the standard [`Duration`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Duration.html) type,
|
||||
//! but it will be supported in the future.
|
||||
//! Meanwhile you can convert between two types with
|
||||
//! [`Duration::from_std`](https://docs.rs/time/0.1.40/time/struct.Duration.html#method.from_std)
|
||||
//! and
|
||||
//! [`Duration::to_std`](https://docs.rs/time/0.1.40/time/struct.Duration.html#method.to_std)
|
||||
//! Chrono currently only supports a small number of operations with [`core::time::Duration`] .
|
||||
//! You can convert between both types with the [`TimeDelta::from_std`] and [`TimeDelta::to_std`]
|
||||
//! methods.
