# Struct time::PreciseTime [−] [src]

    pub struct PreciseTime(_);

An opaque structure representing a moment in time.

The only operation that can be performed on a `PreciseTime` is the calculation of the `Duration` of time that lies between them.

# Examples

Repeatedly call a function for 1 second:

    use time::{Duration, PreciseTime};

    let start = PreciseTime::now();

    while start.to(PreciseTime::now()) < Duration::seconds(1) {
        do_some_work();
    }

## Methods

### `impl PreciseTime`
[src]

#### `fn now() -> PreciseTime`

Returns a `PreciseTime` representing the current moment in time.

#### `fn to(&self, later: PreciseTime) -> Duration`

Returns a `Duration` representing the span of time from the value of `self` to the value of `later`.

# Notes

If `later` represents a time before `self`, the result of this method is unspecified.

If `later` represents a time more than 293 years after `self`, the result of this method is unspecified.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
