duration

func FmtShortDuration ¶

func FmtShortDuration(d time.Duration) string

func Parse ¶

func Parse(s string) (time.Duration, error)

Parse reads a duration written the way the agent prints one.

The standard library stops at the hour, because a day is not a fixed number of hours everywhere. The agent prints days anyway, in every duration long enough to have one, so it has to read them back: a configuration naming "1d" is naming what "1d" is shown as, and refusing it would be refusing our own output. A day is taken as 24 hours.
