Functions

func Now

func Now() uint64

Now returns the current time in nanoseconds from a monotonic clock. The time returned is based on some arbitrary platform-specific point in the past. The time returned is guaranteed to increase monotonically at a constant rate, unlike time.Now() from the Go standard library, which may slow down, speed up, jump forward or backward, due to NTP activity or leap seconds.

func Since

func Since(t uint64) time.Duration

Since returns the amount of time that has elapsed since t. t should be the result of a call to Now() on the same machine.
