Documentation

Overview

Package jitter provides a stochastic ticker that returns ticks at a random interval specified by a normal distribution with a mean periodicity and a standard deviation, sigma both of which are time.Durations.

This is a simplified version of https://github.com/lthibault/jitterbug.

Types

type Ticker

type Ticker struct {
	C        <-chan time.Time
	Interval time.Duration
	Sigma    time.Duration
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Ticker behaves like time.Ticker (listen on Ticker.C for timestamps).

func New

func New(interval, sigma time.Duration) (j *Ticker)

New returns a new stochastic timer with the specified interval and standard deviation.

func (*Ticker) Stop

func (j *Ticker) Stop()

Stop the Ticker.
