pub struct Instant { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

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

Implementations

Returns an instant corresponding to “now”.

Examples
use tokio::time::Instant;

let now = Instant::now();

Create a tokio::time::Instant from a std::time::Instant.

Convert the value into a std::time::Instant.

Returns the amount of time elapsed from another instant to this one.

Panics

This function will panic if earlier is later than self.

Returns the amount of time elapsed from another instant to this one, or None if that instant is later than this one.

Examples
use tokio::time::{Duration, Instant, delay_for};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let now = Instant::now();
    delay_for(Duration::new(1, 0)).await;
    let new_now = Instant::now();
    println!("{:?}", new_now.checked_duration_since(now));
    println!("{:?}", now.checked_duration_since(new_now)); // None
}

Returns the amount of time elapsed from another instant to this one, or zero duration if that instant is earlier than this one.

Examples
use tokio::time::{Duration, Instant, delay_for};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let now = Instant::now();
    delay_for(Duration::new(1, 0)).await;
    let new_now = Instant::now();
    println!("{:?}", new_now.saturating_duration_since(now));
    println!("{:?}", now.saturating_duration_since(new_now)); // 0ns
}

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

Panics

This function may panic if the current time is earlier than this instant, which is something that can happen if an Instant is produced synthetically.

Examples
use tokio::time::{Duration, Instant, delay_for};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let instant = Instant::now();
    let three_secs = Duration::from_secs(3);
    delay_for(three_secs).await;
    assert!(instant.elapsed() >= three_secs);
}

Returns Some(t) where t is the time self + duration if t can be represented as Instant (which means it’s inside the bounds of the underlying data structure), None otherwise.

Returns Some(t) where t is the time self - duration if t can be represented as Instant (which means it’s inside the bounds of the underlying data structure), None otherwise.
