10 * A <tt>TimeUnit</tt> represents time durations at a given unit of
11 * granularity and provides utility methods to convert across units,
12 * and to perform timing and delay operations in these units. A
13 * <tt>TimeUnit</tt> does not maintain time information, but only
14 * helps organize and use time representations that may be maintained
15 * separately across various contexts.
16 *
17 * <p>A <tt>TimeUnit</tt> is mainly used to inform time-based methods
18 * how a given timing parameter should be interpreted. For example,
19 * the following code will timeout in 50 milliseconds if the {@link
20 * java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock lock} is not available:
21 *
22 * <pre> Lock lock = ...;
23 * if ( lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) ) ...
24 * </pre>
25 * while this code will timeout in 50 seconds:
26 * <pre>
27 * Lock lock = ...;
28 * if ( lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.SECONDS) ) ...
29 * </pre>
30 *
31 * Note however, that there is no guarantee that a particular timeout
32 * implementation will be able to notice the passage of time at the
33 * same granularity as the given <tt>TimeUnit</tt>.
