Duration represents the ROS 'duration' primitive type, which consists of two integers: seconds and nanoseconds. The Duration class allows you to add and subtract Duration instances, including adding and subtracting from Time instances.

Usage:

 five_seconds = Duration(5)
 five_nanoseconds = Duration(0, 5)

 print 'Fields are', five_seconds.secs, five_seconds.nsecs

 # Duration arithmetic
 ten_seconds = five_seconds + five_seconds
 five_secs_ago = rospy.Time.now() - five_seconds # Time minus Duration is a Time

 true_val = ten_second > five_seconds
