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.
13 * <tt>TimeUnit</tt> is a &quot;featherweight&quot; class.
14 * It does not maintain time information, but only helps organize and
15 * use time representations that may be maintained separately across
16 * various contexts.
17 *
18 * <p>The <tt>TimeUnit</tt> class cannot be directly instantiated.
19 * Use the {@link #SECONDS}, {@link #MILLISECONDS}, {@link #MICROSECONDS},
20 * and {@link #NANOSECONDS} static instances that provide predefined
21 * units of precision. If you use these frequently, consider
22 * statically importing this class.
23 *
24 * <p>A <tt>TimeUnit</tt> is mainly used to inform blocking methods which
25 * can timeout, how the timeout parameter should be interpreted. For example,
26 * the following code will timeout in 50 milliseconds if the {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock lock}
27 * is not available:
28 * <pre> Lock lock = ...;
29 * if ( lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) ) ...
30 * </pre>
31 * while this code will timeout in 50 seconds:
32 * <pre>
33 * Lock lock = ...;
34 * if ( lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.SECONDS) ) ...
35 * </pre>
36 * Note however, that there is no guarantee that a particular lock, in this
37 * case, will be able to notice the passage of time at the same granularity
38 * as the given <tt>TimeUnit</tt>.
