net.jinx.time
Interface MillisTimeSource

All Superinterfaces:

TimeSource

public interface MillisTimeSource
extends TimeSource

Implementing this inerface indicates that the Timesource is capable of providing time values on a millisecond scale.

API Stability: Stable.

Returns:

the number of nanoseconds since the event.
