Package org.apache.commons.net.ntp
Class TimeStamp
java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.net.ntp.TimeStamp
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Comparable<TimeStamp>
TimeStamp class represents the Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamp as defined in RFC-1305 and SNTP (RFC-2030). It is represented as a 64-bit unsigned
 fixed-point number in seconds relative to 0-hour on 1-January-1900. The 32-bit low-order bits are the fractional seconds whose precision is about 200
 picoseconds. Assumes overflow date when date passes MAX_LONG and reverts back to 0 is 2036 and not 1900. Test for most significant bit: if MSB=0 then 2036
 basis is used otherwise 1900 if MSB=1.
 
Methods exist to convert NTP timestamps to and from the equivalent Java date representation, which is the number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the epoch", namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

Constructor Details- 
TimeStampConstructs a newly allocated NTP timestamp object that represents the Java Date argument.- Parameters:
- d- - the Date to be represented by the Timestamp object.
 
- 
TimeStampConstructs a newly allocated NTP timestamp object that represents the native 64-bit long argument.- Parameters:
- ntpTime- the timestamp
 
- 
TimeStampConstructs a newly allocated NTP timestamp object that represents the value represented by the string in hexdecimal form (e.g. "c1a089bd.fc904f6d").- Parameters:
- hexStamp- the hexadecimal timestamp
- Throws:
- NumberFormatException- - if the string does not contain a parsable timestamp.

Method Details- 
decodeNtpHexStringConvert NTP timestamp hexstring (e.g. "c1a089bd.fc904f6d") to the NTP 64-bit unsigned fixed-point number.- Parameters:
- hexString- the string to convert
- Returns:
- NTP 64-bit timestamp value.
- Throws:
- NumberFormatException- - if the string does not contain a parsable timestamp.
 
- 
getCurrentTimeConstructs a NTP timestamp object and initializes it so that it represents the time at which it was allocated, measured to the nearest millisecond.- Returns:
- NTP timestamp object set to the current time.

- 
getNtpTimeHelper method to convert Java time to NTP timestamp object. Note that Java time (milliseconds) by definition has less precision than NTP time (picoseconds) so converting Ntptime to Javatime and back to Ntptime loses precision. For example, Tue, Dec 17 2002 09:07:24.810 is represented by a single Java-based time value of f22cd1fc8a, but its NTP equivalent are all values from c1a9ae1c.cf5c28f5 to c1a9ae1c.cf9db22c.- Parameters:
- dateMillis- the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
- Returns:
- NTP timestamp object at the specified date.
 
- 
getTimeConverts 64-bit NTP timestamp to Java standard time. Note that java time (milliseconds) by definition has less precision than NTP time (picoseconds) so converting NTP timestamp to Java time and back to NTP timestamp loses precision. For example, Tue, Dec 17 2002 09:07:24.810 EST is represented by a single Java-based time value of f22cd1fc8a, but its NTP equivalent are all values ranging from c1a9ae1c.cf5c28f5 to c1a9ae1c.cf9db22c.- Parameters:
- ntpTimeValue- the input time
- Returns:
- the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this NTP timestamp value.
 
- 
parseNtpStringParses the string argument as a NTP hexidecimal timestamp representation string (e.g. "c1a089bd.fc904f6d").- Parameters:
- s- - hexstring.
- Returns:
- the Timestamp represented by the argument in hexidecimal.
- Throws:
- NumberFormatException- - if the string does not contain a parsable timestamp.
 
- 
toNtpTimeConverts Java time to 64-bit NTP time representation.- Parameters:

- 
toStringConverts 64-bit NTP timestamp value to aString. The NTP timestamp value is represented as hexadecimal string with seconds separated by fractional seconds by a decimal point; e.g. c1a089bd.fc904f6d == Tue, Dec 10 2002 10:41:49.986- Parameters:
- ntpTime- the 64 bit timestamp
- Returns:

- Returns:
- the value 0if the argument TimeStamp is equal to this TimeStamp; a value less than0if this TimeStamp is numerically less than the TimeStamp argument; and a value greater than0if this TimeStamp is numerically greater than the TimeStamp argument (signed comparison).
 
- 
equalsCompares this object against the specified object. The result istrueif and only if the argument is notnulland is aLongobject that contains the samelongvalue as this object.

- the 64-bit long value represented by this object.
