주제: dialects duration golang iso8601 systemd

적용 대상: W3C XML Schema / ISO 8601 duration · Go time.ParseDuration · systemd (time span syntax) · Prometheus configuration · PostgreSQL interval type · .NET TimeSpan.Parse

증상: time: unknown unit "d" in duration "1d" · systemd reports Failed to parse timer value · invalid input syntax for type interval in PostgreSQL · FormatException when calling TimeSpan.Parse · a config value valid in Prometheus fails when passed to a Go program's own duration parser

PT1H30M, 1h30m, '1h 30min' and 01:30:00 can all describe the same span of time, but each parser accepts a different alphabet of unit suffixes and rejects everything else, so a duration string copied between systems often simply fails to parse.

What it is

Format Example Units accepted Note
ISO 8601 / XML Schema duration P1Y2M3DT10H30M P then years/months/days, T then hours/minutes/seconds the P/T designators are mandatory; a bare 1h30m is not valid
Go time.ParseDuration 300ms, -1.5h, 2h45m ns, us/µs, ms, s, m, h only no day, week or year unit exists — "1d" fails to parse
systemd time span 1h 30min, 55s500ms long and short unit names from usec to years, space-separated, spaces optional "a space-separated series of time values each suffixed by a time unit"; a unitless number is generally read as seconds (some settings document exceptions)
Prometheus <duration> 1h30m, 1d ms s m h d w y looks like Go's grammar but adds d/w/y, which Go's own ParseDuration rejects; integers only, units from largest to smallest, so 1.5h and 30m1h are invalid
PostgreSQL interval '1 year 2 months 3 days 4 hours 5 minutes 6 seconds', P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S verbose words, SQL-standard shorthand, or ISO 8601 with designators one column accepts three different literal syntaxes for the same value
.NET TimeSpan.Parse 6.12:14:45 [d.]hh:mm[:ss[.ff]] days are separated from hours by a dot, not a letter suffix; a bare integer such as 90 is read as 90 days

Why it matters

A duration string copied from one system's config into another's usually just fails, because each parser recognizes a different alphabet of unit suffixes. Go's time.ParseDuration documents only ns, us/µs, ms, s, m and h — there is no day, week or year unit at all, so "1d", which both Prometheus and systemd accept, raises an error in a Go program, even though Prometheus's own <duration> type looks like it extends Go's grammar with d, w and y — while dropping Go's fractions, negative values and sub-millisecond units. systemd's time-span grammar goes further, accepting long-form unit names mixed freely with short ones in a single space-separated string. PostgreSQL's interval type is the most permissive: the same column accepts a verbose English phrase, a compact SQL-standard shorthand, and a full ISO 8601 string, parsing all three to the same value. .NET's TimeSpan.Parse breaks the pattern entirely, using a colon-and-dot positional format instead of unit letters.

How to apply

  • Check the exact accepted unit list before reusing a duration string across systems.
  • For Go code that must accept day-scale units, parse them manually rather than assuming time.ParseDuration will.
  • When writing PostgreSQL intervals, pick one of the three accepted syntaxes and stay consistent across a codebase.
  • Do not paste a Go-style or systemd-style duration into a .NET TimeSpan.Parse call; construct a [d.]hh:mm:ss string instead.

Pitfalls

  • Assuming Prometheus and Go's own time package accept the same duration grammar just because they look similar.
  • Treating ISO 8601 duration syntax as universally accepted; systemd and Go both reject it.
  • Forgetting .NET's TimeSpan format uses a dot as the day separator, not a d suffix.
