class Clock;
Effectively a namespace to make it clear that the methods it contains are getting the time from the system clock. It cannot be instantiated.
@safe SysTime currTime(ClockType clockType = ClockType.normal)(immutable TimeZone tz = LocalTime());
Returns the current time in the given time zone.
Parameters:
clockType The core.time.ClockType indicates which system clock to use to get the current time. Very few programs need to use anything other than the default.
TimeZone tz The time zone for the SysTime that's returned.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if it fails to get the time.
@property @trusted long currStdTime(ClockType clockType = ClockType.normal)();
Returns the number of hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. for the current time.
Parameters:
clockType The core.time.ClockType indicates which system clock to use to get the current time. Very few programs need to use anything other than the default.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if it fails to get the time.
struct SysTime;
SysTime is the type used to get the current time from the system or doing anything that involves time zones. Unlike std.datetime.date.DateTime, the time zone is an integral part of SysTime (though for local time applications, time zones can be ignored and it will work, since it defaults to using the local time zone). It holds its internal time in std time (hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC), so it interfaces well with the system time. However, that means that, unlike std.datetime.date.DateTime, it is not optimized for calendar-based operations, and getting individual units from it such as years or days is going to involve conversions and be less efficient.
For calendar-based operations that don't care about time zones, then std.datetime.date.DateTime would be the type to use. For system time, use SysTime.
Clock.currTime will return the current time as a SysTime. To convert a SysTime to a std.datetime.date.Date or std.datetime.date.DateTime, simply cast it. To convert a std.datetime.date.Date or std.datetime.date.DateTime to a SysTime, use SysTime's constructor, and pass in the ntended time zone with it (or don't pass in a std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone, and the local time zone will be used). Be aware, however, that converting from a std.datetime.date.DateTime to a SysTime will not necessarily be 100% accurate due to DST (one hour of the year doesn't exist and another occurs twice). To not risk any conversion errors, keep times as SysTimes. Aside from DST though, there shouldn't be any conversion problems.
For using time zones other than local time or UTC, use std.datetime.timezone.PosixTimeZone on Posix systems (or on Windows, if providing the TZ Database files), and use std.datetime.timezone.WindowsTimeZone on Windows systems. The time in SysTime is kept internally in hnsecs from midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC. Conversion error cannot happen when changing the time zone of a SysTime. std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime is the std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone class which represents the local time, and UTC is the std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone class which represents UTC. SysTime uses std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime if no std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone is provided. For more details on time zones, see the documentation for std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone, std.datetime.timezone.PosixTimeZone, and std.datetime.timezone.WindowsTimeZone.
SysTime's range is from approximately 29,000 B.C. to approximately 29,000 A.D.
nothrow @safe this(in DateTime dateTime, immutable TimeZone tz = null);
Parameters:
DateTime dateTime The std.datetime.date.DateTime to use to set this SysTime's internal std time. As std.datetime.date.DateTime has no concept of time zone, tz is used as its time zone.
TimeZone tz The std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone to use for this SysTime. If null, std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime will be used. The given std.datetime.date.DateTime is assumed to be in the given time zone.
@safe this(in DateTime dateTime, in Duration fracSecs, immutable TimeZone tz = null);
Parameters:
DateTime dateTime The std.datetime.date.DateTime to use to set this SysTime's internal std time. As std.datetime.date.DateTime has no concept of time zone, tz is used as its time zone.
Duration fracSecs The fractional seconds portion of the time.
TimeZone tz The std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone to use for this SysTime. If null, std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime will be used. The given std.datetime.date.DateTime is assumed to be in the given time zone.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if fracSecs is negative or if it's greater than or equal to one second.
nothrow @safe this(in Date date, immutable TimeZone tz = null);
Parameters:
Date date The date.html#.Date">std.datetime.date.Date to use to set this SysTime's internal std time. As date.html#.Date">std.datetime.date.Date has no concept of time zone, tz is used as its time zone.
TimeZone tz The std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone to use for this SysTime. If null, std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime will be used. The given date.html#.Date">std.datetime.date.Date is assumed to be in the given time zone.
pure nothrow @safe this(long stdTime, immutable TimeZone tz = null);

Note Whereas the other constructors take in the given date/time, assume that it's in the given time zone, and convert it to hnsecs in UTC since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC - i.e. std time - this constructor takes a std time, which is specifically already in UTC, so no conversion takes place. Of course, the various getter properties and functions will use the given time zone's conversion function to convert the results to that time zone, but no conversion of the arguments to this constructor takes place.

Parameters:
long stdTime The number of hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC.
TimeZone tz The std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone to use for this SysTime. If null, std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime will be used.

const pure nothrow @safe bool opEquals(const SysTime rhs);

const pure nothrow @safe bool opEquals(ref const SysTime rhs);
Checks for equality between this SysTime and the given SysTime.
Note that the time zone is ignored. Only the internal std times (which are in UTC) are compared.
const pure nothrow @safe int opCmp(in SysTime rhs);

Parameters:
long stdTime The number of hnsecs since January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC.
const pure nothrow @property @safe immutable(TimeZone) timezone();
The current time zone of this SysTime. Its internal time is always kept in UTC, so there are no conversion issues between time zones due to DST. Functions which return all or part of the time - such as hours - adjust the time to this SysTime's time zone before returning.
pure nothrow @property @safe void timezone(immutable TimeZone timezone);
The current time zone of this SysTime. It's internal time is always kept in UTC, so there are no conversion issues between time zones due to DST. Functions which return all or part of the time - such as hours - adjust the time to this SysTime's time zone before returning.
Parameters:
TimeZone timezone The std.datetime.timezone.TimeZone to set this SysTime's time zone to.
const nothrow @property @safe bool dstInEffect();
Returns whether DST is in effect for this SysTime.
const nothrow @property @safe Duration utcOffset();
Returns what the offset from UTC is for this SysTime. It includes the DST offset in effect at that time (if any).
const pure nothrow @safe SysTime toLocalTime();
Returns a SysTime with the same std time as this one, but with std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime as its time zone.
const pure nothrow @safe SysTime toUTC();
Returns a SysTime with the same std time as this one, but with UTC as its time zone.
const pure nothrow @safe SysTime toOtherTZ(immutable TimeZone tz);
Returns a SysTime with the same std time as this one, but with given time zone as its time zone.
const pure nothrow @safe T toUnixTime(T = time_t)()
if (is(T == int) || is(T == long));
Converts this SysTime to unix time (i.e. seconds from midnight, January 1st, 1970 in UTC).
The C standard does not specify the representation of time_t, so it is implementation defined. On POSIX systems, unix time is equivalent to time_t, but that's not necessarily true on other systems (e.g. it is not true for the Digital Mars C runtime). So, be careful when using unix time with C functions on non-POSIX systems.
By default, the return type is time_t (which is normally an alias for int on 32-bit systems and long on 64-bit systems), but if a different size is required than either int or long can be passed as a template argument to get the desired size.
If the return type is int, and the result can't fit in an int, then the closest value that can be held in 32 bits will be used (so int.max if it goes over and int.min if it goes under). However, no attempt is made to deal with integer overflow if the return type is long.
Parameters:
T The return type (int or long). It defaults to time_t, which is normally 32 bits on a 32-bit system and 64 bits on a 64-bit system.
Returns:
A signed integer representing the unix time which is equivalent to this SysTime.
Examples: 
import core.time : hours;
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : SimpleTimeZone, UTC;

writeln(SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), UTC()).toUnixTime()); // 0

auto pst = new immutable SimpleTimeZone(hours(-8));
writeln(SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), pst).toUnixTime()); // 28800

auto utc = SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 8, 14, 45), UTC());
writeln(utc.toUnixTime()); // 1_198_311_285

auto ca = SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 8, 14, 45), pst);
writeln(ca.toUnixTime()); // 1_198_340_085
static pure nothrow @safe SysTime fromUnixTime(long unixTime, immutable TimeZone tz = LocalTime());
Converts from unix time (i.e. seconds from midnight, January 1st, 1970 in UTC) to a SysTime.
The C standard does not specify the representation of time_t, so it is implementation defined. On POSIX systems, unix time is equivalent to time_t, but that's not necessarily true on other systems (e.g. it is not true for the Digital Mars C runtime). So, be careful when using unix time with C functions on non-POSIX systems.
Parameters:
long unixTime Seconds from midnight, January 1st, 1970 in UTC.
TimeZone tz The time zone for the SysTime that's returned.
Examples: 
import core.time : hours;
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : SimpleTimeZone, UTC;

assert(SysTime.fromUnixTime(0) ==
       SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), UTC()));

auto pst = new immutable SimpleTimeZone(hours(-8));
assert(SysTime.fromUnixTime(28800) ==
       SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), pst));

auto st1 = SysTime.fromUnixTime(1_198_311_285, UTC());
writeln(st1); // SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 8, 14, 45), UTC())
assert(st1.timezone is UTC());
writeln(st1); // SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 0, 14, 45), pst)

auto st2 = SysTime.fromUnixTime(1_198_311_285, pst);
writeln(st2); // SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 8, 14, 45), UTC())
assert(st2.timezone is pst);
writeln(st2); // SysTime(DateTime(2007, 12, 22, 0, 14, 45), pst)
const pure nothrow @safe timeval toTimeVal();
Returns a timeval which represents this SysTime.
Note that like all conversions in std.datetime, this is a truncating conversion.
If timeval.tv_sec is int, and the result can't fit in an int, then the closest value that can be held in 32 bits will be used for tv_sec. (so int.max if it goes over and int.min if it goes under).
const pure nothrow @safe timespec toTimeSpec();
Returns a timespec which represents this SysTime.
This function is Posix-Only.
const nothrow @safe tm toTM();
Returns a tm which represents this SysTime.
nothrow ref @safe SysTime add(string units)(long value, AllowDayOverflow allowOverflow = AllowDayOverflow.yes)
if (units == "years" || units == "months");
Adds the given number of years or months to this SysTime. A negative number will subtract.
Note that if day overflow is allowed, and the date with the adjusted year/month overflows the number of days in the new month, then the month will be incremented by one, and the day set to the number of days overflowed. (e.g. if the day were 31 and the new month were June, then the month would be incremented to July, and the new day would be 1). If day overflow is not allowed, then the day will be set to the last valid day in the month (e.g. June 31st would become June 30th).
Parameters:
units The type of units to add ("years" or "months").
long value The number of months or years to add to this SysTime.
AllowDayOverflow allowOverflow Whether the days should be allowed to overflow, causing the month to increment.
nothrow ref @safe SysTime roll(string units)(long value, AllowDayOverflow allowOverflow = AllowDayOverflow.yes)
if (units == "years");
Adds the given number of years or months to this SysTime. A negative number will subtract.
The difference between rolling and adding is that rolling does not affect larger units. Rolling a SysTime 12 months gets the exact same SysTime. However, the days can still be affected due to the differing number of days in each month.
Because there are no units larger than years, there is no difference between adding and rolling years.
Parameters:
units The type of units to add ("years" or "months").
long value The number of months or years to add to this SysTime.
AllowDayOverflow allowOverflow Whether the days should be allowed to overflow, causing the month to increment.
Examples: 
import std.datetime.date : AllowDayOverflow, DateTime;

auto st1 = SysTime(DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 12, 33, 33));
st1.roll!"months"(1);
writeln(st1); // SysTime(DateTime(2010, 2, 1, 12, 33, 33))

auto st2 = SysTime(DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 12, 33, 33));
st2.roll!"months"(-1);
writeln(st2); // SysTime(DateTime(2010, 12, 1, 12, 33, 33))

auto st3 = SysTime(DateTime(1999, 1, 29, 12, 33, 33));
st3.roll!"months"(1);
writeln(st3); // SysTime(DateTime(1999, 3, 1, 12, 33, 33))

auto st4 = SysTime(DateTime(1999, 1, 29, 12, 33, 33));
st4.roll!"months"(1, AllowDayOverflow.no);
writeln(st4); // SysTime(DateTime(1999, 2, 28, 12, 33, 33))

auto st5 = SysTime(DateTime(2000, 2, 29, 12, 30, 33));

writeln(st5); // SysTime(DateTime(2001, 3, 1, 12, 30, 33))

auto st6 = SysTime(DateTime(2000, 2, 29, 12, 30, 33));
st6.roll!"years"(1, AllowDayOverflow.no);
writeln(st6); // SysTime(DateTime(2001, 2, 28, 12, 30, 33))
nothrow ref @safe SysTime roll(string units)(long value)
if (units == "days");
Adds the given number of units to this SysTime. A negative number will subtract.
The difference between rolling and adding is that rolling does not affect larger units. For instance, rolling a SysTime one year's worth of days gets the exact same SysTime.
Accepted units are "days", "minutes", "hours", "minutes", "seconds", "msecs", "usecs", and "hnsecs".
Note that when rolling msecs, usecs or hnsecs, they all add up to a second. So, for example, rolling 1000 msecs is exactly the same as rolling 100,000 usecs.
Parameters:
units The units to add.
long value The number of units to add to this SysTime.
Examples: 
import core.time : msecs, hnsecs;
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;

auto st1 = SysTime(DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 23, 12));

st6.roll!"seconds"(1);
writeln(st6); // SysTime(DateTime(2009, 12, 31, 0, 0, 1))

auto st7 = SysTime(DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0));
st7.roll!"seconds"(-1);

auto st8 = SysTime(dt);
st8.roll!"msecs"(1);
writeln(st8); // SysTime(dt, msecs(1))

auto st9 = SysTime(dt);
st9.roll!"msecs"(-1);
writeln(st9); // SysTime(dt, msecs(999))

auto st10 = SysTime(dt);

The legal types of arithmetic for SysTime using this operator are
SysTime - SysTime --> duration
const nothrow @safe int diffMonths(in SysTime rhs);
Returns the difference between the two SysTimes in months.
To get the difference in years, subtract the year property of two SysTimes. To get the difference in days or weeks, subtract the SysTimes themselves and use the core.time.Duration that results. Because converting between months and smaller units requires a specific date (which core.time.Durations don't have), getting the difference in months requires some math using both the year and month properties, so this is a convenience function for getting the difference in months.
Note that the number of days in the months or how far into the month either date is is irrelevant. It is the difference in the month property combined with the difference in years * 12. So, for instance, December 31st and January 1st are one month apart just as December 1st and January 31st are one month apart.
Parameters:
SysTime rhs The SysTime to subtract from this one.

const nothrow @property @safe long julianDay();
The Julian day for this SysTime at the given time. For example, prior to noon, 1996-03-31 would be the Julian day number 2_450_173, so this function returns 2_450_173, while from noon onward, the Julian day number would be 2_450_174, so this function returns 2_450_174.
const nothrow @property @safe long modJulianDay();
The modified Julian day for any time on this date (since, the modified Julian day changes at midnight).
const nothrow @safe Date opCast(T)()

Returns a std.datetime.date.Date equivalent to this SysTime.
const nothrow @safe DateTime opCast(T)()
if (is(Unqual!T == DateTime));
Returns a std.datetime.date.DateTime equivalent to this SysTime.
const nothrow @safe TimeOfDay opCast(T)()
if (is(Unqual!T == TimeOfDay));
Returns a std.datetime.date.TimeOfDay equivalent to this SysTime.
const nothrow @safe string toISOString();
Converts this SysTime to a string with the format YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.FFFFFFFTZ (where F is fractional seconds and TZ is time zone).
Note that the number of digits in the fractional seconds varies with the number of fractional seconds. It's a maximum of 7 (which would be hnsecs), but only has as many as are necessary to hold the correct value (so no trailing zeroes), and if there are no fractional seconds, then there is no decimal point.
If this SysTime's time zone is std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime, then TZ is empty. If its time zone is UTC, then it is "Z". Otherwise, it is the offset from UTC (e.g. +0100 or -0700). Note that the offset from UTC is not enough to uniquely identify the time zone.
Time zone offsets will be in the form +HHMM or -HHMM.
Warning: Previously, toISOString did the same as toISOExtString and generated +HH:MM or -HH:MM for the time zone when it was not std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime or std.datetime.timezone.UTC, which is not in conformance with ISO 8601 for the non-extended string format. This has now been fixed. However, for now, fromISOString will continue to accept the extended format for the time zone so that any code which has been writing out the result of toISOString to read in later will continue to work. The current behavior will be kept until July 2019 at which point, fromISOString will be fixed to be standards compliant.
Examples: 
import core.time : msecs, hnsecs;

const nothrow @safe string toSimpleString();

const nothrow @safe string toString();
Converts this SysTime to a string.
This function exists to make it easy to convert a SysTime to a string for code that does not care what the exact format is - just that it presents the information in a clear manner. It also makes it easy to simply convert a SysTime to a string when using functions such as to!string, format, or writeln which use toString to convert user-defined types. So, it is unlikely that much code will call toString directly.
The format of the string is purposefully unspecified, and code that cares about the format of the string should use toISOString, toISOExtString, toSimpleString, or some other custom formatting function that explicitly generates the format that the code needs. The reason is that the code is then clear about what format it's using, making it less error-prone to maintain the code and interact with other software that consumes the generated strings. It's for this same reason that SysTime has no fromString function, whereas it does have fromISOString, fromISOExtString, and fromSimpleString.
The format returned by toString may or may not change in the future.
@safe SysTime fromISOString(S)(in S isoString, immutable TimeZone tz = null)
if (isSomeString!S);
Creates a SysTime from a string with the format YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.FFFFFFFTZ (where F is fractional seconds is the time zone). Whitespace is stripped from the given string.
The exact format is exactly as described in toISOString except that trailing zeroes are permitted - including having fractional seconds with all zeroes. However, a decimal point with nothing following it is invalid. Also, while toISOString will never generate a string with more than 7 digits in the fractional seconds (because that's the limit with hecto-nanosecond precision), it will allow more than 7 digits in order to read strings from other sources that have higher precision (however, any digits beyond 7 will be truncated).
If there is no time zone in the string, then std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime is used. If the time zone is "Z", then UTC is used. Otherwise, a std.datetime.timezone.SimpleTimeZone which corresponds to the given offset from UTC is used. To get the returned SysTime to be a particular time zone, pass in that time zone and the SysTime to be returned will be converted to that time zone (though it will still be read in as whatever time zone is in its string).
The accepted formats for time zone offsets are +HH, -HH, +HHMM, and -HHMM.
Warning: Previously, toISOString did the same as toISOExtString and generated +HH:MM or -HH:MM for the time zone when it was not std.datetime.timezone.LocalTime or std.datetime.timezone.UTC, which is not in conformance with ISO 8601 for the non-extended string format.

The current behavior will be kept until July 2019 at which point, fromISOString will be fixed to be standards compliant.
Parameters:
S isoString A string formatted in the ISO format for dates and times.
TimeZone tz The time zone to convert the given time to (no conversion occurs if null).
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given string is not in the ISO format or if the resulting SysTime would not be valid.
@safe SysTime fromISOExtString(S)(in S isoExtString, immutable TimeZone tz = null)
if (isSomeString!S);
Creates a SysTime from a string with the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.FFFFFFFTZ (where F is fractional seconds is the time zone). Whitespace is stripped from the given string.

std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given string is not in the ISO format or if the resulting SysTime would not be valid.
@safe SysTime fromSimpleString(S)(in S simpleString, immutable TimeZone tz = null)
if (isSomeString!S);
Creates a SysTime from a string with the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFFFFFFTZ (where F is fractional seconds is the time zone). Whitespace is stripped from the given string.
The exact format is exactly as described in toSimpleString except that trailing zeroes are permitted - including having fractional seconds with all zeroes. However, a decimal point with nothing following it is invalid. Also, while toSimpleString will never generate a string with more than 7 digits in the fractional seconds (because that's the limit with hecto-nanosecond precision), it will allow more than 7 digits in order to read strings from other sources that have higher precision (however, any digits beyond 7 will be truncated).

Parameters:
S simpleString A string formatted in the way that toSimpleString formats dates and times.
TimeZone tz The time zone to convert the given time to (no conversion occurs if null).
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given string is not in the ISO format or if the resulting SysTime would not be valid.
static pure nothrow @property @safe SysTime min();
Returns the SysTime farthest in the past which is representable by SysTime.
The SysTime which is returned is in UTC.
static pure nothrow @property @safe SysTime max();
Returns the SysTime farthest in the future which is representable by SysTime.
The SysTime which is returned is in UTC.
pure nothrow @safe long unixTimeToStdTime(long unixTime);
Converts from unix time (which uses midnight, January 1st, 1970 UTC as its epoch and seconds as its units) to "std time" (which uses midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC and hnsecs as its units).
The C standard does not specify the representation of time_t, so it is implementation defined. On POSIX systems, unix time is equivalent to time_t, but that's not necessarily true on other systems (e.g. it is not true for the Digital Mars C runtime). So, be careful when using unix time with C functions on non-POSIX systems.
"std time"'s epoch is based on the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar per ISO 8601 and is what SysTime uses internally. However, holding the time as an integer in hnsecs since that epoch technically isn't actually part of the standard, much as it's based on it, so the name "std time" isn't particularly good, but there isn't an official name for it. C# uses "ticks" for the same thing, but they aren't actually clock ticks, and the term "ticks" is used for actual clock ticks for core.time.MonoTime, so it didn't make sense to use the term ticks here. So, for better or worse, std.datetime uses the term "std time" for this.
Parameters:
long unixTime The unix time to convert.
See Also:
SysTime.fromUnixTime
Examples: 
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : UTC;

// Midnight, January 1st, 1970

assert(SysTime(unixTimeToStdTime(0)) ==

assert(SysTime(unixTimeToStdTime(int.max)) ==

assert(SysTime(unixTimeToStdTime(-127_127)) ==
       SysTime(DateTime(1969, 12, 30, 12, 41, 13), UTC()));
pure nothrow @safe T stdTimeToUnixTime(T = time_t)(long stdTime)
if (is(T == int) || is(T == long));
Converts std time (which uses midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC as its epoch and hnsecs as its units) to unix time (which uses midnight, January 1st, 1970 UTC as its epoch and seconds as its units).
The C standard does not specify the representation of time_t, so it is implementation defined. On POSIX systems, unix time is equivalent to time_t, but that's not necessarily true on other systems (e.g. it is not true for the Digital Mars C runtime). So, be careful when using unix time with C functions on non-POSIX systems.
"std time"'s epoch is based on the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar per ISO 8601 and is what SysTime uses internally. However, holding the time as an integer in hnescs since that epoch technically isn't actually part of the standard, much as it's based on it, so the name "std time" isn't particularly good, but there isn't an official name for it. C# uses "ticks" for the same thing, but they aren't actually clock ticks, and the term "ticks" is used for actual clock ticks for core.time.MonoTime, so it didn't make sense to use the term ticks here. So, for better or worse, std.datetime uses the term "std time" for this.
By default, the return type is time_t (which is normally an alias for int on 32-bit systems and long on 64-bit systems), but if a different size is required than either int or long can be passed as a template argument to get the desired size.
If the return type is int, and the result can't fit in an int, then the closest value that can be held in 32 bits will be used (so int.max if it goes over and int.min if it goes under). However, no attempt is made to deal with integer overflow if the return type is long.
Parameters:
T The return type (int or long). It defaults to time_t, which is normally 32 bits on a 32-bit system and 64 bits on a 64-bit system.
long stdTime The std time to convert.
Returns:
A signed integer representing the unix time which is equivalent to the given std time.

@safe SysTime SYSTEMTIMEToSysTime(const SYSTEMTIME* st, immutable TimeZone tz = LocalTime());
This function is Windows-Only.
Converts a SYSTEMTIME struct to a SysTime.
Parameters:
SYSTEMTIME* st The SYSTEMTIME struct to convert.
TimeZone tz The time zone that the time in the SYSTEMTIME struct is assumed to be (if the SYSTEMTIME was supplied by a Windows system call, the SYSTEMTIME will either be in local time or UTC, depending on the call).
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given SYSTEMTIME will not fit in a SysTime, which is highly unlikely to happen given that SysTime.max is in 29,228 A.D. and the maximum SYSTEMTIME is in 30,827 A.D.
@safe SYSTEMTIME SysTimeToSYSTEMTIME(in SysTime sysTime);
This function is Windows-Only.
Converts a SysTime to a SYSTEMTIME struct.
The SYSTEMTIME which is returned will be set using the given SysTime's time zone, so to get the SYSTEMTIME in UTC, set the SysTime's time zone to UTC.
Parameters:
SysTime sysTime The SysTime to convert.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given SysTime will not fit in a SYSTEMTIME. This will only happen if the SysTime's date is prior to 1601 A.D.

This function is Windows-Only.
Converts a FILETIME struct to a SysTime.
Parameters:
FILETIME* ft The FILETIME struct to convert.
TimeZone tz The time zone that the SysTime will be in (FILETIMEs are in UTC).
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given FILETIME will not fit in a SysTime.
@safe FILETIME stdTimeToFILETIME(long stdTime);
This function is Windows-Only.
Converts a number of hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. to a FILETIME struct.
Parameters:
long stdTime The number of hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. UTC.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given value will not fit in a FILETIME.
@safe FILETIME SysTimeToFILETIME(SysTime sysTime);
This function is Windows-Only.
Converts a SysTime to a FILETIME struct.
FILETIMEs are always in UTC.
Parameters:
SysTime sysTime The SysTime to convert.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given SysTime will not fit in a FILETIME.
alias DosFileTime = uint;
Type representing the DOS file date/time format.
@safe SysTime DosFileTimeToSysTime(DosFileTime dft, immutable TimeZone tz = LocalTime());
Converts from DOS file date/time to SysTime.
Parameters:
DosFileTime dft The DOS file time to convert.
TimeZone tz The time zone which the DOS file time is assumed to be in.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the DosFileTime is invalid.
@safe DosFileTime SysTimeToDosFileTime(SysTime sysTime);
Converts from SysTime to DOS file date/time.
Parameters:
SysTime sysTime The SysTime to convert.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given SysTime cannot be converted to a DosFileTime.
@safe SysTime parseRFC822DateTime()(in char[] value);

@safe SysTime parseRFC822DateTime(R)(R value)
if (isRandomAccessRange!R && hasSlicing!R && hasLength!R && (is(Unqual!(ElementType!R) == char) || is(Unqual!(ElementType!R) == ubyte)));
The given array of char or random-access range of char or ubyte is expected to be in the format specified in RFC 5322 section 3.3 with the grammar rule date-time. It is the date-time format commonly used in internet messages such as e-mail and HTTP. The corresponding SysTime will be returned.
RFC 822 was the original spec (hence the function's name), whereas RFC 5322 is the current spec.
The day of the week is ignored beyond verifying that it's a valid day of the week, as the day of the week can be inferred from the date. It is not checked whether the given day of the week matches the actual day of the week of the given date (though it is technically invalid per the spec if the day of the week doesn't match the actual day of the week of the given date).
If the time zone is "-0000" (or considered to be equivalent to "-0000" by section 4.3 of the spec), a std.datetime.timezone.SimpleTimeZone with a utc offset of 0 is used rather than std.datetime.timezone.UTC, whereas "+0000" uses std.datetime.timezone.UTC.
Note that because SysTime does not currently support having a second value of 60 (as is sometimes done for leap seconds), if the date-time value does have a value of 60 for the seconds, it is treated as 59.
The one area in which this function violates RFC 5322 is that it accepts "\n" in folding whitespace in the place of "\r\n", because the HTTP spec requires it.
Throws:
std.datetime.date.DateTimeException if the given string doesn't follow the grammar for a date-time field or if the resulting SysTime is invalid.
Examples: 
import core.time : hours;
import std.datetime.date : DateTime, DateTimeException;
import std.datetime.timezone : SimpleTimeZone, UTC;
import std.exception : assertThrown;

auto tz = new immutable SimpleTimeZone(hours(-8));
assert(parseRFC822DateTime("Sat, 6 Jan 1990 12:14:19 -0800") ==
       SysTime(DateTime(1990, 1, 6, 12, 14, 19), tz));

assert(parseRFC822DateTime("9 Jul 2002 13:11 +0000") ==
       SysTime(DateTime(2002, 7, 9, 13, 11, 0), UTC()));

auto badStr = "29 Feb 2001 12:17:16 +0200";
assertThrown!DateTimeException(parseRFC822DateTime(badStr));
