43// A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or local
44// calendar, encoded as a count of seconds and fractions of seconds at
45// nanosecond resolution. The count is relative to an epoch at UTC midnight on
46// January 1, 1970, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar which extends the
47// Gregorian calendar backwards to year one.
48//
49// All minutes are 60 seconds long. Leap seconds are "smeared" so that no leap
50// second table is needed for interpretation, using a [24-hour linear
51// smear](https://developers.google.com/time/smear).
52//
53// The range is from 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z. By
54// restricting to that range, we ensure that we can convert to and from [RFC
55// 3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) date strings.

57// # Examples
58//
59// Example 1: Compute Timestamp from POSIX `time()`.
60//
61//     Timestamp timestamp;
62//     timestamp.set_seconds(time(NULL));
63//     timestamp.set_nanos(0);
64//
65// Example 2: Compute Timestamp from POSIX `gettimeofday()`.
66//
67//     struct timeval tv;
68//     gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
69//
70//     Timestamp timestamp;
71//     timestamp.set_seconds(tv.tv_sec);
72//     timestamp.set_nanos(tv.tv_usec * 1000);
73//
74// Example 3: Compute Timestamp from Win32 `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()`.
75//
76//     FILETIME ft;
77//     GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);
78//     UINT64 ticks = (((UINT64)ft.dwHighDateTime) << 32) | ft.dwLowDateTime;
79//
80//     // A Windows tick is 100 nanoseconds. Windows epoch 1601-01-01T00:00:00Z
81//     // is 11644473600 seconds before Unix epoch 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
82//     Timestamp timestamp;
83//     timestamp.set_seconds((INT64) ((ticks / 10000000) - 11644473600LL));
84//     timestamp.set_nanos((INT32) ((ticks % 10000000) * 100));
85//
86// Example 4: Compute Timestamp from Java `System.currentTimeMillis()`.
87//
88//     long millis = System.currentTimeMillis();
89//
90//     Timestamp timestamp = Timestamp.newBuilder().setSeconds(millis / 1000)
91//         .setNanos((int) ((millis % 1000) * 1000000)).build();
92//
93//
94// Example 5: Compute Timestamp from current time in Python.
95//
96//     timestamp = Timestamp()
97//     timestamp.GetCurrentTime()
98//
99// # JSON Mapping
100//
101// In JSON format, the Timestamp type is encoded as a string in the
102// [RFC 3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) format. That is, the
103// format is "{year}-{month}-{day}T{hour}:{min}:{sec}[.{frac_sec}]Z"
104// where {year} is always expressed using four digits while {month}, {day},
105// {hour}, {min}, and {sec} are zero-padded to two digits each. The fractional
106// seconds, which can go up to 9 digits (i.e. up to 1 nanosecond resolution),
107// are optional. The "Z" suffix indicates the timezone ("UTC"); the timezone
108// is required. A proto3 JSON serializer should always use UTC (as indicated by
109// "Z") when printing the Timestamp type and a proto3 JSON parser should be
110// able to accept both UTC and other timezones (as indicated by an offset).
111//
112// For example, "2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z" encodes 15.01 seconds past
113// 01:30 UTC on January 15, 2017.
114//
115// In JavaScript, one can convert a Date object to this format using the
116// standard
117// [toISOString()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toISOString)
118// method. In Python, a standard `datetime.datetime` object can be converted
119// to this format using
120// [`strftime`](https://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html#time.strftime) with
121// the time format spec '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ'. Likewise, in Java, one can use
122// the Joda Time's [`ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime()`](
123// http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html#dateTime%2D%2D
124// ) to obtain a formatter capable of generating timestamps in this format.
