% go doc time.Second
const (
Nanosecond Duration = 1
Microsecond = 1000 * Nanosecond
Millisecond = 1000 * Microsecond
Second = 1000 * Millisecond
Minute = 60 * Second
Hour = 60 * Minute
)
Common durations. There is no definition for units of Day or larger to
avoid
confusion across daylight savings time zone transitions.
To count the number of units in a Duration, divide:
second := time.Second
fmt.Print(int64(second/time.Millisecond)) // prints 1000
To convert an integer number of units to a Duration, multiply:
seconds := 10
fmt.Print(time.Duration(seconds)*time.Second) // prints 10s
