TickDuration

Warning: TickDuration will be deprecated in the near future (once all uses of it in Phobos have been deprecated). Please use MonoTime for the cases where a monotonic timestamp is needed and Duration when a duration is needed, rather than using TickDuration. It has been decided that TickDuration is too confusing (e.g. it conflates a monotonic timestamp and a duration in monotonic clock ticks) and that having multiple duration types is too awkward and confusing.

Represents a duration of time in system clock ticks.

The system clock ticks are the ticks of the system clock at the highest precision that the system provides.

Functions

hnsecs long hnsecs(): Returns the total number of hecto-nanoseconds in this TickDuration.
msecs long msecs(): Returns the total number of milliseconds in this TickDuration.
nsecs long nsecs(): Returns the total number of nanoseconds in this TickDuration.
opBinary TickDuration opBinary(TickDuration rhs): Adds or subtracts two TickDurations.
opBinary TickDuration opBinary(T value): The legal types of arithmetic for TickDuration using this operator overload are
opBinary TickDuration opBinary(T value): The legal types of arithmetic for TickDuration using this operator overload are
opCast Duration opCast(): Returns a Duration with the same number of hnsecs as this TickDuration. Note that the conventional way to convert between TickDuration and Duration is using std.conv.to, e.g.: tickDuration.to!Duration()
opCmp int opCmp(TickDuration rhs): operator overloading "<, >, <=, >="
opOpAssign TickDuration opOpAssign(TickDuration rhs): Adds or subtracts two TickDurations as well as assigning the result to this TickDuration.
opOpAssign void opOpAssign(T value): The legal types of arithmetic for TickDuration using this operator overload are
opOpAssign void opOpAssign(T value): The legal types of arithmetic for TickDuration using this operator overload are
opUnary TickDuration opUnary(): Returns the negation of this TickDuration.
seconds long seconds(): Returns the total number of seconds in this TickDuration.
usecs long usecs(): Returns the total number of microseconds in this TickDuration.

Static functions

currSystemTick TickDuration currSystemTick(): The current system tick. The number of ticks per second varies from system to system. currSystemTick uses a monotonic clock, so it's intended for precision timing by comparing relative time values, not for getting the current system time.
from TickDuration from(long length): This allows you to construct a TickDuration from the given time units with the given length.
max TickDuration max(): Largest TickDuration possible.
min TickDuration min(): Most negative TickDuration possible.
zero TickDuration zero(): It's the same as TickDuration(0), but it's provided to be consistent with Duration and FracSec, which provide zero properties.

Static variables

appOrigin TickDuration appOrigin;: The tick of the system clock (as a TickDuration) when the application started.
ticksPerSec long ticksPerSec;: The number of ticks that the system clock has in one second.

Variables

length long length;: The number of system ticks in this TickDuration.
