Clock

Exposes UTC time relative to Jan 1st, 1 AD. These values are based upon a clock-tick of 100ns, giving them a span of greater than 10,000 years. These units of time are the foundation of most time and date functionality in Tango.

Interval is another type of time period, used for measuring a much shorter duration; typically used for timeout periods and for high-resolution timers. These intervals are measured in units of 1 second, and support fractional units (0.001 = 1ms).

Static functions

convert Time convert(const(FILETIME) time): Convert FILETIME to a Time
convert FILETIME convert(const(Time) dt): Convert Time to a FILETIME
convert Time convert(const(timeval) tv): Convert timeval to a Time
convert timeval convert(const(Time) time): Convert Time to a timeval
fromDate Time fromDate(const(DateTime) dt): Convert Date fields to Time
fromDate Time fromDate(const(DateTime) dt): Convert Date fields to Time
setDoy void setDoy(DateTime dt): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
toDate DateTime toDate(): Set Date fields to represent the current time.
toDate DateTime toDate(const(Time) time): Set fields to represent the provided UTC time. Note that the conversion is limited by the underlying OS, and will fail to operate correctly with Time values beyond the domain. On Win32 the earliest representable date is 1601. On linux it is 1970. Both systems have limitations upon future dates also. Date is limited to millisecond accuracy at best.
