Struct Timestamp 

pub struct Timestamp(/* private fields */);

A point on the wall clock, in nanoseconds since the Unix epoch.

It names a moment another machine can name too, which is what makes it the stamp to capture with; the clock behind it may step, so a span that must never run backwards is measured on an Uptime instead. It holds 1677-09-21 to 2262-04-11, and its operators saturate at either end. It is written as RFC 3339 in UTC, and parses back from it.

Examples

use t2t_core::{Timedelta, Timestamp};

let published = Timestamp::from_secs(1_700_000_000);
let captured = published + Timedelta::from_micros(850);

assert_eq!(captured - published, Timedelta::from_micros(850), "a point minus a point");
assert_eq!(format!("{captured:.6}"), "2023-11-14T22:13:20.000850Z", "to the microsecond");
let minute = captured.floor(Timedelta::MINUTE);
assert_eq!(format!("{minute:.0}"), "2023-11-14T22:13:00Z", "the minute it falls in");
