[#Ticks]
= Ticks
:mrdocs:

Helper to count the seconds of a duration/time_point.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<util/time.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
template<
    typename Dur1,
    typename Dur2>
constexpr
auto
Ticks(Dur2 d);
----

== Description

All durations/time_points should be using std::chrono and calling this should generally be avoided in code. Though, it is still preferred to an inline t.count() to protect against a reliance on the exact type of t.

This helper is used to convert durations/time_points before passing them over an interface that doesn't support std::chrono (e.g. RPC, debug log, or the GUI)

== Return Value

The tick count of d expressed in the Dur1 units.

== Parameters

[cols="1,4"]
