// Timestamp converts a timestamppb.Timestamp to a time.Time.
// It returns an error if the argument is invalid.
//
// Unlike most Go functions, if Timestamp returns an error, the first return
// value is not the zero time.Time. Instead, it is the value obtained from the
// time.Unix function when passed the contents of the Timestamp, in the UTC
// locale. This may or may not be a meaningful time; many invalid Timestamps
// do map to valid time.Times.
//
// A nil Timestamp returns an error. The first return value in that case is
// undefined.
//
// Deprecated: Call the ts.AsTime and ts.CheckValid methods instead.
func Timestamp(ts *timestamppb.Timestamp) (time.Time, error) { … }

// TimestampNow returns a google.protobuf.Timestamp for the current time.
//
// Deprecated: Call the timestamppb.Now function instead.

// TimestampProto converts the time.Time to a google.protobuf.Timestamp proto.
// It returns an error if the resulting Timestamp is invalid.
//
// Deprecated: Call the timestamppb.New function instead.

// TimestampString returns the RFC 3339 string for valid Timestamps.
// For invalid Timestamps, it returns an error message in parentheses.
//
// Deprecated: Call the ts.AsTime method instead,
// followed by a call to the Format method on the time.Time value.

// validateTimestamp determines whether a Timestamp is valid.
// A valid timestamp represents a time in the range [0001-01-01, 10000-01-01)
// and has a Nanos field in the range [0, 1e9).
//
// If the Timestamp is valid, validateTimestamp returns nil.
// Otherwise, it returns an error that describes the problem.
//
// Every valid Timestamp can be represented by a time.Time,
// but the converse is not true.
