## Parameters

### t
({{< req >}})
Time to operate on.

Use an absolute time, relative duration, or integer.

## Examples

- [Return the microsecond of a time value](#return-the-microsecond-of-a-time-value)
- [Return the microsecond of a relative duration](#return-the-microsecond-of-a-relative-duration)
- [Return the current microsecond unit](#return-the-current-microsecond-unit)

### Return the microsecond of a time value

```js
import "date"

date.microsecond(t: 2020-02-11T12:21:03.29353494Z)// Returns 293534


```


### Return the microsecond of a relative duration

```js

date.microsecond(t: -1890us)// Returns 322661


```


### Return the current microsecond unit

```js
