Expand description
A configurable source of time.
This module provides the now
function, which returns an Instant
representing “now”. The source of time used by this function is configurable
(via the tokio-timer
crate) and allows mocking out the source of time in
tests or performing caching operations to reduce the number of syscalls.
Note that, because the source of time is configurable, it is possible to
observe non-monotonic behavior when calling now
from different
executors.
