    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

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

    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.
