Interface Clock

  • public interface Clock
    A simple interface for representing a Clock logically. This is useful whenever you might want to change the behavior of "time" in logical ways (for example, by using a monotonic counter instead of an actual clock) without changing the algorithms that use it.

    There are a bunch of interfaces like this in our library set, having our own is useful for dependency management, otherwise it would just be a waste of text.

      • readNanos

        long readNanos()
        Read the clock's logical time, with nanosecond units.
        Returns:
        the clock's logical "time", with nanosecond units.
