Remarks
The DispatchTime class provides a simple mechanism for expressing temporal milestones for use
with dispatch functions that need timeouts or operate on a schedule.
To create an absolute wall time, invoke the DispatchTime constructor with the number of nanoseconds for a particular point in time with a negative time.
Constructors
| DispatchTime(DispatchTime, Int64) |
Creates a new dispatch time instance based on an existing dispatch time and a nanosecond delta. |
| DispatchTime(DispatchTime, TimeSpan) |
Creates a new dispatch time instance based on an existing dispatch time and a the specified delta. |
| DispatchTime(UInt64) |
Creates new DispatchTime instance from nanoseconds |
Fields
| Forever |
Represents infinity time. |
| Now |
Represents no timeout. |
Properties
| Nanoseconds |
The total number of nanoseconds represented by this instance. |
| WallTime |
Returns a milestone relative to a fixed point in time using the wall clock. |
