    Immutable ndarray of timedelta64 data, represented internally as int64, and

    Parameters
    ----------
    data  : array-like (1-dimensional), optional
        Optional timedelta-like data to construct index with
    unit: unit of the arg (D,h,m,s,ms,us,ns) denote the unit, optional
        which is an integer/float number
    freq: a frequency for the index, optional
    copy  : bool
        Make a copy of input ndarray
    start : starting value, timedelta-like, optional
        If data is None, start is used as the start point in generating regular
        timedelta data.
    periods  : int, optional, > 0
        Number of periods to generate, if generating index. Takes precedence
        over end argument
    end   : end time, timedelta-like, optional
        If periods is none, generated index will extend to first conforming
        time on or just past end argument
    closed : string or None, default None
        Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to
        the 'left', 'right', or both sides (None)
    name : object
        Name to be stored in the index

def timedelta_range(start=None, end=None, periods=None, freq='D',
                    name=None, closed=None):
    """
    Return a fixed frequency TimedeltaIndex, with day as the default
    frequency

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : string or timedelta-like, default None
        Left bound for generating timedeltas
    end : string or timedelta-like, default None
        Right bound for generating timedeltas
    periods : integer, default None
        Number of periods to generate
    freq : string or DateOffset, default 'D' (calendar daily)
        Frequency strings can have multiples, e.g. '5H'
    name : string, default None
        Name of the resulting TimedeltaIndex
    closed : string, default None
        Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to
        the 'left', 'right', or both sides (None)

    Returns
    -------
    rng : TimedeltaIndex

    Notes
    -----
    Of the three parameters: ``start``, ``end``, and ``periods``, exactly two
    must be specified.

    Examples
    --------

    >>> pd.timedelta_range(start='1 day', periods=4)
    TimedeltaIndex(['1 days', '2 days', '3 days', '4 days'],
                   dtype='timedelta64[ns]', freq='D')

    The ``closed`` parameter specifies which endpoint is included.  The default
    behavior is to include both endpoints.

    >>> pd.timedelta_range(start='1 day', periods=4, closed='right')
    TimedeltaIndex(['2 days', '3 days', '4 days'],
                   dtype='timedelta64[ns]', freq='D')

    The ``freq`` parameter specifies the frequency of the TimedeltaIndex.
    Only fixed frequencies can be passed, non-fixed frequencies such as
    'M' (month end) will raise.

    >>> pd.timedelta_range(start='1 day', end='2 days', freq='6H')
    TimedeltaIndex(['1 days 00:00:00', '1 days 06:00:00', '1 days 12:00:00',
                    '1 days 18:00:00', '2 days 00:00:00'],
                   dtype='timedelta64[ns]', freq='6H')
    """
    return TimedeltaIndex(start=start, end=end, periods=periods,
                          freq=freq, name=name, closed=closed)
