A TimeUnit represents time durations at a given unit of
granularity and provides utility methods to convert across units,
and to perform timing and delay operations in these units. A
TimeUnit does not maintain time information, but only
helps organize and use time representations that may be maintained
separately across various contexts. A nanosecond is defined as one
thousandth of a microsecond, a microsecond as one thousandth of a
millisecond, a millisecond as one thousandth of a second, a minute
as sixty seconds, an hour as sixty minutes, and a day as twenty four
hours.
A TimeUnit is mainly used to inform time-based methods
how a given timing parameter should be interpreted. For example,
the following code will timeout in 50 milliseconds if the lock is not available:
Lock lock = ...;
if (lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)) ...
while this code will timeout in 50 seconds:
Lock lock = ...;
if (lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) ...
Note however, that there is no guarantee that a particular timeout
implementation will be able to notice the passage of time at the
same granularity as the given TimeUnit.

Convert the given time duration in the given unit to this
unit. Conversions from finer to coarser granularities
truncate, so lose precision. For example converting
999 milliseconds to seconds results in
0. Conversions from coarser to finer granularities
with arguments that would numerically overflow saturate to
Long.MIN_VALUE if negative or Long.MAX_VALUE
if positive.
For example, to convert 10 minutes to milliseconds, use:
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert(10L, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
| sourceDuration | the time duration in the given sourceUnit |
|---|---|
| sourceUnit | the unit of the sourceDuration argument |
Long.MIN_VALUE if conversion would negatively
overflow, or Long.MAX_VALUE if it would positively overflow.
Performs a Thread.sleep using
this time unit.
This is a convenience method that converts time arguments into the
form required by the Thread.sleep method.
| timeout | the minimum time to sleep. If less than or equal to zero, do not sleep at all. |
|---|
| InterruptedException | if interrupted while sleeping |
|---|
Performs a timed Thread.join
using this time unit.
This is a convenience method that converts time arguments into the
form required by the Thread.join method.
| thread | the thread to wait for |
|---|---|
| timeout | the maximum time to wait. If less than or equal to zero, do not wait at all. |
| InterruptedException | if interrupted while waiting |
|---|
Performs a timed Object.wait
using this time unit.
This is a convenience method that converts timeout arguments
into the form required by the Object.wait method.
For example, you could implement a blocking poll
method (see BlockingQueue.poll)
using:
public synchronized Object poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
throws InterruptedException {
while (empty) {
unit.timedWait(this, timeout);
...
}}| obj | the object to wait on |
|---|---|
| timeout | the maximum time to wait. If less than or equal to zero, do not wait at all. |
| InterruptedException | if interrupted while waiting |
