method HRTime.bigint
Usage in Deno
import { type HRTime } from "node:process";
HRTime.bigint(): bigint
The bigint version of the hrtime() method returning the current high-resolution real time in nanoseconds as a bigint.
Unlike hrtime(), it does not support an additional time argument since the difference can just be computed directly by subtraction of the two bigints.
import { hrtime } from 'node:process';
const start = hrtime.bigint();
// 191051479007711n
setTimeout(() => {
const end = hrtime.bigint();
// 191052633396993n
console.log(`Benchmark took ${end - start} nanoseconds`);
// Benchmark took 1154389282 nanoseconds
}, 1000);
