:mrdocs:

Return the value of this time interval as a `std::chrono::duration` object. This function participates in overloading if `DURATION_TYPE` is actually an `std::chrono::duration` instance, and if it has _not_ a floating point representation. The behavior is undefined unless the total number of nanoseconds can be represented using a `DURATION_TYPE`. Note that the return value may be negative.
