werdl/thetime

A simple Rust library for dealing with the time, both NTP and System. Depends on chrono

thetime

Simple Rust library for time

• builds on top of std (almost exclusively core), chrono and time
• very simple and intuitive to use
• wraps some very useful functions that are usually buried deep in modules
• has extensive support for unusual epochs
• Fully supports without overflow, as the core data is stored as u64s, times since 01-01-1601, and up to, in my testing, "a+262143-01-01

Features

ntp

• Default: true
• includes: Ntp struct

Which traits you need

// Basic functionality
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time};

// Diff functions
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, TimeDiff};

// String direct strptime
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, StrTime};

// Timestamp int conversion
use thetime::{System, Ntp, Time, IntTime}

// Timezones
use thetime::Tz;
