""" return a numpy timedelta64 array view of myself """
"""
Return a numpy timedelta64 array scalar view.

Provides access to the array scalar view (i.e. a combination of the
value and the units) associated with the numpy.timedelta64().view(),
including a 64-bit integer representation of the timedelta in
nanoseconds (Python int compatible).

Returns
-------
numpy timedelta64 array scalar view
Array scalar view of the timedelta in nanoseconds.

Examples
--------
>>> td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 2 min 3 us 42 ns')
>>> td.asm8
numpy.timedelta64(86520000003042,'ns')

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('2 min 3 s')
>>> td.asm8
numpy.timedelta64(123000000000,'ns')

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('3 ms 5 us')
>>> td.asm8
numpy.timedelta64(3005000,'ns')

>>> td = pd.Timedelta(42, unit='ns')
>>> td.asm8
numpy.timedelta64(42,'ns')
