Classes

Instant

zena

final extension class Instant

Re-exported from zena:time/types.zena

A point on the monotonic clock: nanoseconds from an arbitrary origin, so only the distance between two instants is meaningful.

Methods

zena

minus(d: Duration): Instant

The instant d before this one. Named because - already means instant minus instant, and one operator gets one method.

zena

isBefore(other: Instant): boolean

True when this instant precedes other.

Operators

zena

operator -(other: Instant): Duration

The span from other to this instant — negative when this instant is the earlier one.

zena

operator +(d: Duration): Instant

The instant d after this one — before it, for a negative d.

zena

operator ==(other: Instant): boolean

Duration

zena

final extension class Duration

Re-exported from zena:time/types.zena

A signed span of time, in nanoseconds.

Methods

zena

isPositive(): boolean

True for a span longer than zero.

zena

isNegative(): boolean

True for a span shorter than zero.

Operators

zena

operator +(other: Duration): Duration

zena

operator -(other: Duration): Duration

zena

operator *(k: i64): Duration

This span scaled k times.

zena

operator ==(other: Duration): boolean

Functions

sleep

zena

function sleep(d: Duration): Future<void>

A future that completes after at least d.

monotonic

zena

function monotonic(): Instant

The monotonic clock's reading.

Reads the clock directly rather than through the installed Clock: only the parker path — sleep, park, wait — needs the installation, and a clock read should not pay a registration check.

milliseconds

zena

function milliseconds(ms: i64): Duration

Re-exported from zena:time/types.zena

ms milliseconds as a Duration.

nanoseconds

zena

function nanoseconds(ns: i64): Duration

Re-exported from zena:time/types.zena

ns nanoseconds as a Duration.
