DESCRIPTION
       ldns_duration_type
              Duration.

              struct ldns_duration_struct
              {
                  time_t years;
                  time_t months;
                  time_t weeks;
                  time_t days;
                  time_t hours;
                  time_t minutes;
                  time_t seconds;
              };

              typedef struct ldns_duration_struct ldns_duration_type;

       ldns_duration_create() Create a new 'instant' duration.
              Returns ldns_duration_type* created duration


       ldns_duration_create_from_string() Create a duration from string.
              str: string-format duration
              Returns ldns_duration_type* created duration


       ldns_duration_cleanup() Clean up duration.
              duration: duration to be cleaned up


       ldns_duration_compare() Compare durations.
              d1: one duration
              d2: another duration
              Returns int 0 if equal, -1 if d1 < d2, 1 if d2 < d1


       ldns_duration2string() Convert a duration to a string.
              duration: duration to be converted
              Returns char* string-format duration


       ldns_duration2time() Convert a duration to a time.
              duration: duration to be converted
              Returns time_t time-format duration
