Overview

• time.After returns a channel that after the given duration, will send current time on it. This can be used to implement a timeout with select.

time.Sleep()

https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Sleep

Sleep pauses the current goroutine for at least the duration d. A negative or zero duration causes Sleep to return immediately:

import "time"
...
secs := 10
time.Sleep(time.Duration(secs) * time.Second)

Other available time units: time.Milliseconds.

Now()

Return the current local time as an instance of a Time struct.

Time

A time structure.

sec()

Return seconds since Jan 1 year 1.

After(Duration)

The After() returns a channel that will provide a Time instance after the given duration elapses. Equivalent with NewTimer(d).C.
