Golang : How to get time from unix nano example




Just an add on to previous tutorial on how to get time in milliseconds. This is a short tutorial on how to convert UnixNano() nanoseconds to UTC time.

Here you go!

 package main

 import (
 "fmt"
 "time"
 )

 func main() {

 now := time.Now()
 nano := now.UnixNano()

 fmt.Println("Today : ", now)
 fmt.Println("Today's unix nano is : ", nano)

 UTCfromUnixNano := time.Unix(0, nano)

 fmt.Println("Today from Unix Nano : ", UTCfromUnixNano)
 }

Sample output :

Today : 2015-08-17 13:32:31.045120419 +0800 MYT

Today's unix nano is : 1439789551045120419

Today from Unix Nano : 2015-08-17 13:32:31.045120419 +0800 MYT
