Overview

Package epochtime implements Katzenpost epoch related timekeeping functions.

Index

• Variables
• func FromUnix(t int64) (current uint64, elapsed, till time.Duration)
• func IsInEpoch(e uint64, t uint64) bool
• func Now() (current uint64, elapsed, till time.Duration)

Variables

var Epoch = time.Date(2017, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Epoch is the Katzenpost epoch expressed in UTC.

var Period = 20 * time.Minute

Period is the duration of a Katzenpost epoch.

var WarpedEpoch string

WarpedEpoch is a flag that can be passed at build time to set the epoch Period

Functions

func FromUnix

func FromUnix(t int64) (current uint64, elapsed, till time.Duration)

FromUnix returns the Katzenpost epoch, time since the start of the current epoch, and time till the next epoch relative to a Unix time in seconds.

func IsInEpoch

func IsInEpoch(e uint64, t uint64) bool

IsInEpoch returns true iff the epoch e contains the time t, measured in the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.

func Now

func Now() (current uint64, elapsed, till time.Duration)

Now returns the current Katzenpost epoch, time since the start of the current epoch, and time till the next epoch.
