How to get current timestamp

yourbasic.org/golang

Use time.Now and one of time.Unix or time.UnixNano to get a timestamp.

now := time.Now()      // current local time
sec := now.Unix()      // number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC
nsec := now.UnixNano() // number of nanoseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC

fmt.Println(now)  // time.Time
fmt.Println(sec)  // int64
fmt.Println(nsec) // int64
