Thanks a lot! This works as expected, I think functions for BigEndian and
LittleEndian should be documented or at least referenced in the binary
documentation.
import (
"encoding/binary"
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
t := time.Now()
b1 := make([]byte, 8)
b2 := make([]byte, 8)
binary.BigEndian.PutUint64(b1, uint64(t.Unix()))
binary.BigEndian.PutUint64(b2, uint64(t.UnixNano()))
i1 := binary.BigEndian.Uint64(b1)
i2 := binary.BigEndian.Uint64(b2)
fmt.Println("Unix:", t.Unix(), b1, "->", i1)
fmt.Println("UnixNano:", t.UnixNano(), b2, "->", i2)
}
