3 //! Time related primitives.
4 //!
5 //! This module contains the kernel APIs related to time and timers that
6 //! have been ported or wrapped for usage by Rust code in the kernel.
7 //!
8 //! There are two types in this module:
9 //!
10 //! - The [`Instant`] type represents a specific point in time.
11 //! - The [`Delta`] type represents a span of time.
12 //!
13 //! Note that the C side uses `ktime_t` type to represent both. However, timestamp
14 //! and timedelta are different. To avoid confusion, we use two different types.
15 //!
16 //! A [`Instant`] object can be created by calling the [`Instant::now()`] function.
17 //! It represents a point in time at which the object was created.
18 //! By calling the [`Instant::elapsed()`] method, a [`Delta`] object representing
19 //! the elapsed time can be created. The [`Delta`] object can also be created
20 //! by subtracting two [`Instant`] objects.
21 //!
22 //! A [`Delta`] type supports methods to retrieve the duration in various units.
23 //!
24 //! C header: [`include/linux/jiffies.h`](srctree/include/linux/jiffies.h).
25 //! C header: [`include/linux/ktime.h`](srctree/include/linux/ktime.h).
