5 // Time represents an absolute point in time, internally represented as
6 // microseconds (s/1,000,000) since the Windows epoch (1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)
7 // (See http://crbug.com/14734). System-dependent clock interface routines are
8 // defined in time_PLATFORM.cc.
9 //
10 // TimeDelta represents a duration of time, internally represented in
11 // microseconds.
13 // TimeTicks represents an abstract time that is most of the time incrementing
14 // for use in measuring time durations. It is internally represented in
15 // microseconds. It can not be converted to a human-readable time, but is
16 // guaranteed not to decrease (if the user changes the computer clock,
17 // Time::Now() may actually decrease or jump). But note that TimeTicks may
18 // "stand still", for example if the computer suspended.
20 // These classes are represented as only a 64-bit value, so they can be
21 // efficiently passed by value.
