Module `std.datetime.systime`


Category	Functions
Types	`Clock` `SysTime` `DosFileTime`
Conversion	`parseRFC822DateTime` `DosFileTimeToSysTime` `FILETIMEToStdTime` `FILETIMEToSysTime` `stdTimeToFILETIME` `stdTimeToUnixTime` `SYSTEMTIMEToSysTime` `SysTimeToDosFileTime` `SysTimeToFILETIME` `SysTimeToSYSTEMTIME` `unixTimeToStdTime`

Example

Get the current time as a SysTime

import std.datetime.timezone : LocalTime;
SysTime today = Clock.currTime();
assert(today.timezone is LocalTime());

Example

Construct a SysTime from a ISO time string

import std.datetime.date : DateTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : UTC;

auto st = SysTime.fromISOExtString("2018-01-01T10:30:00Z");
writeln(st); // SysTime(DateTime(2018, 1, 1, 10, 30, 0), UTC())

Example

Make a specific point in time in the New York timezone

import core.time : hours;
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : SimpleTimeZone;

auto ny = SysTime(
    DateTime(2018, 1, 1, 10, 30, 0),
    new immutable SimpleTimeZone(-5.hours, "America/New_York")
);

// ISO standard time strings
writeln(ny.toISOString()); // "20180101T103000-05:00"
writeln(ny.toISOExtString()); // "2018-01-01T10:30:00-05:00"

Functions

Name	Description
`DosFileTimeToSysTime(dft, tz)`	Converts from DOS file date/time to `SysTime`.
`FILETIMEToStdTime(ft)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`FILETIMEToSysTime(ft, tz)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`parseRFC822DateTime(value)`	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.
`stdTimeToFILETIME(stdTime)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`stdTimeToUnixTime(stdTime)`	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).
`SYSTEMTIMEToSysTime(st, tz)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`SysTimeToDosFileTime(sysTime)`	Converts from `SysTime` to DOS file date/time.
`SysTimeToFILETIME(sysTime)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`SysTimeToSYSTEMTIME(sysTime)`	This function is Windows-Only.
`unixTimeToStdTime(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).

Classes

Name	Description
`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.

Structs

Name Description

SysTime SysTime is the type used to get the current time from the system or doing anything that involves time zones. Unlike 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 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.
