Constants
These are predefined layouts for use in Time.Format and Time.Parse. The reference time used in the layouts is the specific time:
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
which is Unix time 1136239445. Since MST is GMT-0700, the reference time can be thought of as
01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
To define your own format, write down what the reference time would look like formatted your way; see the values of constants like ANSIC, StampMicro or Kitchen for examples. The model is to demonstrate what the reference time looks like so that the Format and Parse methods can apply the same transformation to a general time value.
Within the format string, an underscore _ represents a space that may be replaced by a digit if the following number (a day) has two digits; for compatibility with fixed-width Unix time formats.
A decimal point followed by one or more zeros represents a fractional second, printed to the given number of decimal places. A decimal point followed by one or more nines represents a fractional second, printed to the given number of decimal places, with trailing zeros removed. When parsing (only), the input may contain a fractional second field immediately after the seconds field, even if the layout does not signify its presence. In that case a decimal point followed by a maximal series of digits is parsed as a fractional second.
Numeric time zone offsets format as follows:
-0700 ±hhmm -07:00 ±hh:mm -07 ±hh
Replacing the sign in the format with a Z triggers the ISO 8601 behavior of printing Z instead of an offset for the UTC zone. Thus:
Z0700 Z or ±hhmm Z07:00 Z or ±hh:mm Z07 Z or ±hh
The recognized day of week formats are "Mon" and "Monday". The recognized month formats are "Jan" and "January".
Text in the format string that is not recognized as part of the reference time is echoed verbatim during Format and expected to appear verbatim in the input to Parse.
The executable example for time.Format demonstrates the working of the layout string in detail and is a good reference.
Note that the RFC822, RFC850, and RFC1123 formats should be applied only to local times. Applying them to UTC times will use "UTC" as the time zone abbreviation, while strictly speaking those RFCs require the use of "GMT" in that case. In general RFC1123Z should be used instead of RFC1123 for servers that insist on that format, and RFC3339 should be preferred for new protocols. RFC822, RFC822Z, RFC1123, and RFC1123Z are useful for formatting; when used with time.Parse they do not accept all the time formats permitted by the RFCs.

)
func After ¶
func After(d Duration) <-chan Time
After waits for the duration to elapse and then sends the current time on the returned channel. It is equivalent to NewTimer(d).C. The underlying Timer is not recovered by the garbage collector until the timer fires. If efficiency is a concern, use NewTimer instead and call Timer.Stop if the timer is no longer needed.
▹ Example
func Sleep ¶
func Sleep(d Duration)
Sleep pauses the current goroutine for at least the duration d. A negative or zero duration causes Sleep to return immediately.
▹ Example
func Tick ¶
func Tick(d Duration) <-chan Time
Tick is a convenience wrapper for NewTicker providing access to the ticking channel only. While Tick is useful for clients that have no need to shut down the Ticker, be aware that without a way to shut it down the underlying Ticker cannot be recovered by the garbage collector; it "leaks". Unlike NewTicker, Tick will return nil if d <= 0.
▹ Example
type Duration ¶
A Duration represents the elapsed time between two instants as an int64 nanosecond count. The representation limits the largest representable duration to approximately 290 years.
type Duration int64
Common durations. There is no definition for units of Day or larger to avoid confusion across daylight savings time zone transitions.
To count the number of units in a Duration, divide:
second := time.Second fmt.Print(int64(second/time.Millisecond)) // prints 1000
To convert an integer number of units to a Duration, multiply:
seconds := 10 fmt.Print(time.Duration(seconds)*time.Second) // prints 10s
const (
Nanosecond Duration = 1
Microsecond = 1000 * Nanosecond
Millisecond = 1000 * Microsecond
Second = 1000 * Millisecond
Minute = 60 * Second
Hour = 60 * Minute
)
▹ Example
func ParseDuration ¶
func ParseDuration(s string) (Duration, error)
ParseDuration parses a duration string. A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
func Since ¶
func Since(t Time) Duration
Since returns the time elapsed since t. It is shorthand for time.Now().Sub(t).
func Until ¶
func Until(t Time) Duration
Until returns the duration until t. It is shorthand for t.Sub(time.Now()).
func (Duration) Hours ¶
func (d Duration) Hours() float64
Hours returns the duration as a floating point number of hours.
func (Duration) Minutes ¶
func (d Duration) Minutes() float64
Minutes returns the duration as a floating point number of minutes.
func (Duration) Nanoseconds ¶
func (d Duration) Nanoseconds() int64
Nanoseconds returns the duration as an integer nanosecond count.
func (Duration) Seconds ¶
func (d Duration) Seconds() float64
Seconds returns the duration as a floating point number of seconds.
func (Duration) String ¶
func (d Duration) String() string
String returns a string representing the duration in the form "72h3m0.5s". Leading zero units are omitted. As a special case, durations less than one second format use a smaller unit (milli-, micro-, or nanoseconds) to ensure that the leading digit is non-zero. The zero duration formats as 0s.
type Location ¶
A Location maps time instants to the zone in use at that time. Typically, the Location represents the collection of time offsets in use in a geographical area, such as CEST and CET for central Europe.
type Location struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Local represents the system's local time zone.
var Local *Location = &localLoc
UTC represents Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
var UTC *Location = &utcLoc
func FixedZone ¶
func FixedZone(name string, offset int) *Location
FixedZone returns a Location that always uses the given zone name and offset (seconds east of UTC).
func LoadLocation ¶
func LoadLocation(name string) (*Location, error)
LoadLocation returns the Location with the given name.
If the name is "" or "UTC", LoadLocation returns UTC. If the name is "Local", LoadLocation returns Local.
Otherwise, the name is taken to be a location name corresponding to a file in the IANA Time Zone database, such as "America/New_York".
The time zone database needed by LoadLocation may not be present on all systems, especially non-Unix systems. LoadLocation looks in the directory or uncompressed zip file named by the ZONEINFO environment variable, if any, then looks in known installation locations on Unix systems, and finally looks in $GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip.
func (*Location) String ¶
func (l *Location) String() string
String returns a descriptive name for the time zone information, corresponding to the argument to LoadLocation.
type Month ¶
A Month specifies a month of the year (January = 1, ...).
type Month int
const (
January Month = 1 + iota
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December
)
▹ Example
func (Month) String ¶
func (m Month) String() string
String returns the English name of the month ("January", "February", ...).
type ParseError ¶
ParseError describes a problem parsing a time string.
type ParseError struct {
Layout string
Value string
LayoutElem string
ValueElem string
Message string
}
func (*ParseError) Error ¶
func (e *ParseError) Error() string
Error returns the string representation of a ParseError.
type Ticker ¶
A Ticker holds a channel that delivers `ticks' of a clock at intervals.
type Ticker struct {
C <-chan Time // The channel on which the ticks are delivered.
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func NewTicker ¶
func NewTicker(d Duration) *Ticker
NewTicker returns a new Ticker containing a channel that will send the time with a period specified by the duration argument. It adjusts the intervals or drops ticks to make up for slow receivers. The duration d must be greater than zero; if not, NewTicker will panic. Stop the ticker to release associated resources.
func (*Ticker) Stop ¶
func (t *Ticker) Stop()
Stop turns off a ticker. After Stop, no more ticks will be sent. Stop does not close the channel, to prevent a read from the channel succeeding incorrectly.
type Time ¶
A Time represents an instant in time with nanosecond precision.
Programs using times should typically store and pass them as values, not pointers. That is, time variables and struct fields should be of type time.Time, not *time.Time. A Time value can be used by multiple goroutines simultaneously.
Time instants can be compared using the Before, After, and Equal methods. The Sub method subtracts two instants, producing a Duration. The Add method adds a Time and a Duration, producing a Time.
The zero value of type Time is January 1, year 1, 00:00:00.000000000 UTC. As this time is unlikely to come up in practice, the IsZero method gives a simple way of detecting a time that has not been initialized explicitly.
Each Time has associated with it a Location, consulted when computing the presentation form of the time, such as in the Format, Hour, and Year methods. The methods Local, UTC, and In return a Time with a specific location. Changing the location in this way changes only the presentation; it does not change the instant in time being denoted and therefore does not affect the computations described in earlier paragraphs.
Note that the Go == operator compares not just the time instant but also the Location. Therefore, Time values should not be used as map or database keys without first guaranteeing that the identical Location has been set for all values, which can be achieved through use of the UTC or Local method.
type Time struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func Date ¶
func Date(year int, month Month, day, hour, min, sec, nsec int, loc *Location) Time
Date returns the Time corresponding to
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss + nsec nanoseconds
in the appropriate zone for that time in the given location.
The month, day, hour, min, sec, and nsec values may be outside their usual ranges and will be normalized during the conversion. For example, October 32 converts to November 1.
A daylight savings time transition skips or repeats times. For example, in the United States, March 13, 2011 2:15am never occurred, while November 6, 2011 1:15am occurred twice. In such cases, the choice of time zone, and therefore the time, is not well-defined. Date returns a time that is correct in one of the two zones involved in the transition, but it does not guarantee which.
Date panics if loc is nil.
▹ Example
func Now ¶
func Now() Time
Now returns the current local time.
func Parse ¶
func Parse(layout, value string) (Time, error)
Parse parses a formatted string and returns the time value it represents. The layout defines the format by showing how the reference time, defined to be
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006
would be interpreted if it were the value; it serves as an example of the input format. The same interpretation will then be made to the input string.
Predefined layouts ANSIC, UnixDate, RFC3339 and others describe standard and convenient representations of the reference time. For more information about the formats and the definition of the reference time, see the documentation for ANSIC and the other constants defined by this package. Also, the executable example for time.Format demonstrates the working of the layout string in detail and is a good reference.
Elements omitted from the value are assumed to be zero or, when zero is impossible, one, so parsing "3:04pm" returns the time corresponding to Jan 1, year 0, 15:04:00 UTC (note that because the year is 0, this time is before the zero Time). Years must be in the range 0000..9999. The day of the week is checked for syntax but it is otherwise ignored.
In the absence of a time zone indicator, Parse returns a time in UTC.
When parsing a time with a zone offset like -0700, if the offset corresponds to a time zone used by the current location (Local), then Parse uses that location and zone in the returned time. Otherwise it records the time as being in a fabricated location with time fixed at the given zone offset.
No checking is done that the day of the month is within the month's valid dates; any one- or two-digit value is accepted. For example February 31 and even February 99 are valid dates, specifying dates in March and May. This behavior is consistent with time.Date.
When parsing a time with a zone abbreviation like MST, if the zone abbreviation has a defined offset in the current location, then that offset is used. The zone abbreviation "UTC" is recognized as UTC regardless of location. If the zone abbreviation is unknown, Parse records the time as being in a fabricated location with the given zone abbreviation and a zero offset. This choice means that such a time can be parsed and reformatted with the same layout losslessly, but the exact instant used in the representation will differ by the actual zone offset. To avoid such problems, prefer time layouts that use a numeric zone offset, or use ParseInLocation.
▹ Example
func ParseInLocation ¶
func ParseInLocation(layout, value string, loc *Location) (Time, error)
ParseInLocation is like Parse but differs in two important ways. First, in the absence of time zone information, Parse interprets a time as UTC; ParseInLocation interprets the time as in the given location. Second, when given a zone offset or abbreviation, Parse tries to match it against the Local location; ParseInLocation uses the given location.
▹ Example
func Unix ¶
func Unix(sec int64, nsec int64) Time
Unix returns the local Time corresponding to the given Unix time, sec seconds and nsec nanoseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. It is valid to pass nsec outside the range [0, 999999999]. Not all sec values have a corresponding time value. One such value is 1<<63-1 (the largest int64 value).
func (Time) Add ¶
func (t Time) Add(d Duration) Time
Add returns the time t+d.
func (Time) AddDate ¶
func (t Time) AddDate(years int, months int, days int) Time
AddDate returns the time corresponding to adding the given number of years, months, and days to t. For example, AddDate(-1, 2, 3) applied to January 1, 2011 returns March 4, 2010.
AddDate normalizes its result in the same way that Date does, so, for example, adding one month to October 31 yields December 1, the normalized form for November 31.
func (Time) After ¶
func (t Time) After(u Time) bool
After reports whether the time instant t is after u.
func (Time) AppendFormat ¶
func (t Time) AppendFormat(b []byte, layout string) []byte
AppendFormat is like Format but appends the textual representation to b and returns the extended buffer.
func (Time) Before ¶
func (t Time) Before(u Time) bool
Before reports whether the time instant t is before u.
func (Time) Clock ¶
func (t Time) Clock() (hour, min, sec int)
Clock returns the hour, minute, and second within the day specified by t.
func (Time) Date ¶
func (t Time) Date() (year int, month Month, day int)
Date returns the year, month, and day in which t occurs.
func (Time) Day ¶
func (t Time) Day() int
Day returns the day of the month specified by t.
func (Time) Equal ¶
func (t Time) Equal(u Time) bool
Equal reports whether t and u represent the same time instant. Two times can be equal even if they are in different locations. For example, 6:00 +0200 CEST and 4:00 UTC are Equal. Do not use == with Time values.
func (Time) Format ¶
func (t Time) Format(layout string) string
Format returns a textual representation of the time value formatted according to layout, which defines the format by showing how the reference time, defined to be
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006
would be displayed if it were the value; it serves as an example of the desired output. The same display rules will then be applied to the time value.
A fractional second is represented by adding a period and zeros to the end of the seconds section of layout string, as in "15:04:05.000" to format a time stamp with millisecond precision.
Predefined layouts ANSIC, UnixDate, RFC3339 and others describe standard and convenient representations of the reference time. For more information about the formats and the definition of the reference time, see the documentation for ANSIC and the other constants defined by this package.
▹ Example
func (*Time) GobDecode ¶
func (t *Time) GobDecode(data []byte) error
GobDecode implements the gob.GobDecoder interface.
func (Time) GobEncode ¶
func (t Time) GobEncode() ([]byte, error)
GobEncode implements the gob.GobEncoder interface.
func (Time) Hour ¶
func (t Time) Hour() int
Hour returns the hour within the day specified by t, in the range [0, 23].
func (Time) ISOWeek ¶
func (t Time) ISOWeek() (year, week int)
ISOWeek returns the ISO 8601 year and week number in which t occurs. Week ranges from 1 to 53. Jan 01 to Jan 03 of year n might belong to week 52 or 53 of year n-1, and Dec 29 to Dec 31 might belong to week 1 of year n+1.
func (Time) In ¶
func (t Time) In(loc *Location) Time
In returns t with the location information set to loc.
In panics if loc is nil.
func (Time) IsZero ¶
func (t Time) IsZero() bool
IsZero reports whether t represents the zero time instant, January 1, year 1, 00:00:00 UTC.
func (Time) Local ¶
func (t Time) Local() Time
Local returns t with the location set to local time.
func (Time) Location ¶
func (t Time) Location() *Location
Location returns the time zone information associated with t.
func (Time) MarshalBinary ¶
func (t Time) MarshalBinary() ([]byte, error)
MarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryMarshaler interface.
func (Time) MarshalJSON ¶
func (t Time) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)
MarshalJSON implements the json.Marshaler interface. The time is a quoted string in RFC 3339 format, with sub-second precision added if present.
func (Time) MarshalText ¶
func (t Time) MarshalText() ([]byte, error)
MarshalText implements the encoding.TextMarshaler interface. The time is formatted in RFC 3339 format, with sub-second precision added if present.
func (Time) Minute ¶
func (t Time) Minute() int
Minute returns the minute offset within the hour specified by t, in the range [0, 59].
func (Time) Month ¶
func (t Time) Month() Month
Month returns the month of the year specified by t.
func (Time) Nanosecond ¶
func (t Time) Nanosecond() int
Nanosecond returns the nanosecond offset within the second specified by t, in the range [0, 999999999].
func (Time) Round ¶
func (t Time) Round(d Duration) Time
Round returns the result of rounding t to the nearest multiple of d (since the zero time). The rounding behavior for halfway values is to round up. If d <= 0, Round returns t unchanged.
Round operates on the time as an absolute duration since the zero time; it does not operate on the presentation form of the time. Thus, Round(Hour) may return a time with a non-zero minute, depending on the time's Location.
▹ Example
func (Time) Second ¶
func (t Time) Second() int
Second returns the second offset within the minute specified by t, in the range [0, 59].
func (Time) String ¶
func (t Time) String() string
String returns the time formatted using the format string
"2006-01-02 15:04:05.999999999 -0700 MST"
func (Time) Sub ¶
func (t Time) Sub(u Time) Duration
Sub returns the duration t-u. If the result exceeds the maximum (or minimum) value that can be stored in a Duration, the maximum (or minimum) duration will be returned. To compute t-d for a duration d, use t.Add(-d).
func (Time) Truncate ¶
func (t Time) Truncate(d Duration) Time
Truncate returns the result of rounding t down to a multiple of d (since the zero time). If d <= 0, Truncate returns t unchanged.
Truncate operates on the time as an absolute duration since the zero time; it does not operate on the presentation form of the time. Thus, Truncate(Hour) may return a time with a non-zero minute, depending on the time's Location.
▹ Example
func (Time) UTC ¶
func (t Time) UTC() Time
UTC returns t with the location set to UTC.
func (Time) Unix ¶
func (t Time) Unix() int64
Unix returns t as a Unix time, the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC.
func (Time) UnixNano ¶
func (t Time) UnixNano() int64
UnixNano returns t as a Unix time, the number of nanoseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC. The result is undefined if the Unix time in nanoseconds cannot be represented by an int64 (a date before the year 1678 or after 2262). Note that this means the result of calling UnixNano on the zero Time is undefined.
func (*Time) UnmarshalBinary ¶
func (t *Time) UnmarshalBinary(data []byte) error
UnmarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler interface.
func (*Time) UnmarshalJSON ¶
func (t *Time) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error
UnmarshalJSON implements the json.Unmarshaler interface. The time is expected to be a quoted string in RFC 3339 format.
func (*Time) UnmarshalText ¶
func (t *Time) UnmarshalText(data []byte) error
UnmarshalText implements the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface. The time is expected to be in RFC 3339 format.
func (Time) Weekday ¶
func (t Time) Weekday() Weekday
Weekday returns the day of the week specified by t.
func (Time) Year ¶
func (t Time) Year() int
Year returns the year in which t occurs.
func (Time) YearDay ¶
func (t Time) YearDay() int
YearDay returns the day of the year specified by t, in the range [1,365] for non-leap years, and [1,366] in leap years.
func (Time) Zone ¶
func (t Time) Zone() (name string, offset int)
Zone computes the time zone in effect at time t, returning the abbreviated name of the zone (such as "CET") and its offset in seconds east of UTC.
type Timer ¶
The Timer type represents a single event. When the Timer expires, the current time will be sent on C, unless the Timer was created by AfterFunc. A Timer must be created with NewTimer or AfterFunc.
type Timer struct {
C <-chan Time
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func AfterFunc ¶
func AfterFunc(d Duration, f func()) *Timer
AfterFunc waits for the duration to elapse and then calls f in its own goroutine. It returns a Timer that can be used to cancel the call using its Stop method.
func NewTimer ¶
func NewTimer(d Duration) *Timer
NewTimer creates a new Timer that will send the current time on its channel after at least duration d.
func (*Timer) Reset ¶
func (t *Timer) Reset(d Duration) bool
Reset changes the timer to expire after duration d. It returns true if the timer had been active, false if the timer had expired or been stopped.
Resetting a timer must take care not to race with the send into t.C that happens when the current timer expires. If a program has already received a value from t.C, the timer is known to have expired, and t.Reset can be used directly. If a program has not yet received a value from t.C, however, the timer must be stopped and—if Stop reports that the timer expired before being stopped—the channel explicitly drained:
if !t.Stop() {
<-t.C
}
t.Reset(d)
This should not be done concurrent to other receives from the Timer's channel.
Note that it is not possible to use Reset's return value correctly, as there is a race condition between draining the channel and the new timer expiring. Reset should always be invoked on stopped or expired channels, as described above. The return value exists to preserve compatibility with existing programs.
func (*Timer) Stop ¶
func (t *Timer) Stop() bool
Stop prevents the Timer from firing. It returns true if the call stops the timer, false if the timer has already expired or been stopped. Stop does not close the channel, to prevent a read from the channel succeeding incorrectly.
To prevent a timer created with NewTimer from firing after a call to Stop, check the return value and drain the channel. For example, assuming the program has not received from t.C already:
if !t.Stop() {
<-t.C
}
This cannot be done concurrent to other receives from the Timer's channel.
For a timer created with AfterFunc(d, f), if t.Stop returns false, then the timer has already expired and the function f has been started in its own goroutine; Stop does not wait for f to complete before returning. If the caller needs to know whether f is completed, it must coordinate with f explicitly.
type Weekday ¶
A Weekday specifies a day of the week (Sunday = 0, ...).
type Weekday int
const (
Sunday Weekday = iota
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
)
func (Weekday) String ¶
func (d Weekday) String() string
String returns the English name of the day ("Sunday", "Monday", ...).
