)

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 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.

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.

Example

Code:

select {
case m := <-c:
    handle(m)
case <-time.After(5 * time.Minute):
    fmt.Println("timed out")
}

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

Code:

time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)

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".

Example

Code:

c := time.Tick(1 * time.Minute)
for now := range c {
    fmt.Printf("%v %s\n", now, statusUpdate())
}

type Duration

type Duration int64

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.

const (
    Nanosecond  Duration = 1
    Microsecond          = 1000 * Nanosecond
    Millisecond          = 1000 * Microsecond
    Second               = 1000 * Millisecond
    Minute               = 60 * Second
    Hour                 = 60 * Minute
)

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

Example

Code:

t0 := time.Now()
expensiveCall()
t1 := time.Now()
fmt.Printf("The call took %v to run.\n", t1.Sub(t0))

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 (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 0, with no unit.

type Location

type Location struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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.

var Local *Location = &localLoc

Local represents the system's local time zone.

var UTC *Location = &utcLoc

UTC represents Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

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

type Month int

A Month specifies a month of the year (January = 1, ...).

const (
    January Month = 1 + iota
    February
    March
    April
    May
    June
    July
    August
    September
    October
    November
    December
)

Example

Code:

_, month, day := time.Now().Date()
if month == time.November && day == 10 {
    fmt.Println("Happy Go day!")
}

func (Month) String

func (m Month) String() string

String returns the English name of the month ("January", "February", ...).

type ParseError

type ParseError struct {
    Layout     string
    Value      string
    LayoutElem string
    ValueElem  string
    Message    string
}

ParseError describes a problem parsing a time string.

func (*ParseError) Error

func (e *ParseError) Error() string

Error returns the string representation of a ParseError.

type Ticker

type Ticker struct {
    C <-chan Time // The channel on which the ticks are delivered.
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Ticker holds a channel that delivers `ticks' of a clock at intervals.

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

type Time struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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.

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

Code:

t := time.Date(2009, time.November, 10, 23, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
fmt.Printf("Go launched at %s\n", t.Local())

Output:

Go launched at 2009-11-10 15:00:00 -0800 PST

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

Code:

// See the example for time.Format for a thorough description of how
// to define the layout string to parse a time.Time value; Parse and
// Format use the same model to describe their input and output.

// longForm shows by example how the reference time would be represented in
// the desired layout.
const longForm = "Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm (MST)"
t, _ := time.Parse(longForm, "Feb 3, 2013 at 7:54pm (PST)")
fmt.Println(t)

// shortForm is another way the reference time would be represented
// in the desired layout; it has no time zone present.
// Note: without explicit zone, returns time in UTC.
const shortForm = "2006-Jan-02"
t, _ = time.Parse(shortForm, "2013-Feb-03")
fmt.Println(t)

Output:

2013-02-03 19:54:00 -0800 PST
2013-02-03 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

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

Code:

loc, _ := time.LoadLocation("Europe/Berlin")

const longForm = "Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm (MST)"
t, _ := time.ParseInLocation(longForm, "Jul 9, 2012 at 5:02am (CEST)", loc)
fmt.Println(t)

// Note: without explicit zone, returns time in given location.
const shortForm = "2006-Jan-02"
t, _ = time.ParseInLocation(shortForm, "2012-Jul-09", loc)
fmt.Println(t)

Output:

2012-07-09 05:02:00 +0200 CEST
2012-07-09 00:00:00 +0200 CEST

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. This comparison is different from using t == u, which also compares the locations.

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

Code:

// Parse a time value from a string in the standard Unix format.
t, err := time.Parse(time.UnixDate, "Sat Mar  7 11:06:39 PST 2015")
if err != nil { // Always check errors even if they should not happen.
    panic(err)
}

// time.Time's Stringer method is useful without any format.
fmt.Println("default format:", t)

// Predefined constants in the package implement common layouts.
fmt.Println("Unix format:", t.Format(time.UnixDate))

// The time zone attached to the time value affects its output.
fmt.Println("Same, in UTC:", t.UTC().Format(time.UnixDate))

// The rest of this function demonstrates the properties of the
// layout string used in the format.

// The layout string used by the Parse function and Format method
// shows by example how the reference time should be represented.
// We stress that one must show how the reference time is formatted,
// not a time of the user's choosing. Thus each layout string is a
// representation of the time stamp,
//	Jan 2 15:04:05 2006 MST
// An easy way to remember this value is that it holds, when presented
// in this order, the values (lined up with the elements above):
//	  1 2  3  4  5    6  -7
// There are some wrinkles illustrated below.

// Most uses of Format and Parse use constant layout strings such as
// the ones defined in this package, but the interface is flexible,
// as these examples show.

// Define a helper function to make the examples' output look nice.
do := func(name, layout, want string) {
    got := t.Format(layout)
    if want != got {
        fmt.Printf("error: for %q got %q; expected %q\n", layout, got, want)
        return
    }
    fmt.Printf("%-15s %q gives %q\n", name, layout, got)
}

// Print a header in our output.
fmt.Printf("\nFormats:\n\n")

// A simple starter example.
do("Basic", "Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006", "Sat Mar 7 11:06:39 PST 2015")

// For fixed-width printing of values, such as the date, that may be one or
// two characters (7 vs. 07), use an _ instead of a space in the layout string.
// Here we print just the day, which is 2 in our layout string and 7 in our
// value.
do("No pad", "<2>", "<7>")

// An underscore represents a zero pad, if required.
do("Spaces", "<_2>", "< 7>")

// Similarly, a 0 indicates zero padding.
do("Zeros", "<02>", "<07>")

// If the value is already the right width, padding is not used.
// For instance, the second (05 in the reference time) in our value is 39,
// so it doesn't need padding, but the minutes (04, 06) does.
do("Suppressed pad", "04:05", "06:39")

// The predefined constant Unix uses an underscore to pad the day.
// Compare with our simple starter example.
do("Unix", time.UnixDate, "Sat Mar  7 11:06:39 PST 2015")

// The hour of the reference time is 15, or 3PM. The layout can express
// it either way, and since our value is the morning we should see it as
// an AM time. We show both in one format string. Lower case too.
do("AM/PM", "3PM==3pm==15h", "11AM==11am==11h")

// When parsing, if the seconds value is followed by a decimal point
// and some digits, that is taken as a fraction of a second even if
// the layout string does not represent the fractional second.
// Here we add a fractional second to our time value used above.
t, err = time.Parse(time.UnixDate, "Sat Mar  7 11:06:39.1234 PST 2015")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
// It does not appear in the output if the layout string does not contain
// a representation of the fractional second.
do("No fraction", time.UnixDate, "Sat Mar  7 11:06:39 PST 2015")

// Fractional seconds can be printed by adding a run of 0s or 9s after
// a decimal point in the seconds value in the layout string.
// If the layout digits are 0s, the fractional second is of the specified
// width. Note that the output has a trailing zero.

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.

Example

Code:

trunc := []time.Duration{
    time.Nanosecond,
    time.Microsecond,
    time.Millisecond,
    time.Second,
    2 * time.Second,
    time.Minute,
    10 * time.Minute,
    time.Hour,
}

for _, d := range trunc {
    fmt.Printf("t.Truncate(%6s) = %s\n", d, t.Truncate(d).Format("15:04:05.999999999"))
}

Output:

t.Truncate(   1ns) = 12:15:30.918273645
t.Truncate(   1µs) = 12:15:30.918273
