= xref:absl.adoc[absl]::DurationFromTimespec
:relfileprefix: ../
:mrdocs:

Converts a `timespec` to an `absl::Duration`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<absl/time/time.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
xref:absl/Duration.adoc[Duration]
DurationFromTimespec(timespec ts);
----

== Description

Some APIs use a timespec or a timeval as a Duration (e.g., nanosleep(2) and select(2)), while others use them as a Time (e.g. clock_gettime(2) and gettimeofday(2)), so conversion functions are provided for both cases. The "to timespec/val" direction is easily handled via overloading, but for "from timespec/val" the desired type is part of the function name.

== Return Value

The equivalent duration.

== Parameters
