/++
    Module containing core time functionality, such as $(LREF Duration) (which
    represents a duration of time) or $(LREF MonoTime) (which represents a
    timestamp of the system's monotonic clock).

    Various functions take a string (or strings) to represent a unit of time
    (e.g. $(D convert!("days", "hours")(numDays))). The valid strings to use
    with such functions are "years", "months", "weeks", "days", "hours",
    "minutes", "seconds", "msecs" (milliseconds), "usecs" (microseconds),
    "hnsecs" (hecto-nanoseconds - i.e. 100 ns) or some subset thereof. There
    are a few functions that also allow "nsecs", but very little actually
    has precision greater than hnsecs.

/++
    What type of clock to use with $(LREF MonoTime) / $(LREF MonoTimeImpl) or
    $(D std.datetime.Clock.currTime). They default to $(D ClockType.normal),
    and most programs do not need to ever deal with the others.

    The other $(D ClockType)s are provided so that other clocks provided by the
    underlying C, system calls can be used with $(LREF MonoTimeImpl) or
    $(D std.datetime.Clock.currTime) without having to use the C API directly.

    In the case of the monotonic time, $(LREF MonoTimeImpl) is templatized on
    $(D ClockType), whereas with $(D std.datetime.Clock.currTime), its a runtime
    argument, since in the case of the monotonic time, the type of the clock
    affects the resolution of a $(LREF MonoTimeImpl) object, whereas with
    $(REF SysTime, std,datetime), its resolution is always hecto-nanoseconds
    regardless of the source of the time.

    $(D ClockType.normal), $(D ClockType.coarse), and $(D ClockType.precise)
    work with both $(D Clock.currTime) and $(LREF MonoTimeImpl).
    $(D ClockType.second) only works with $(D Clock.currTime). The others only
    work with $(LREF MonoTimeImpl).
  +/
version (CoreDdoc) enum ClockType
{
    /++
        Use the normal clock.
      +/
    normal = 0,

    /++
        $(BLUE Linux,OpenBSD-Only)

        Uses $(D CLOCK_BOOTTIME).
      +/
    bootTime = 1,

    /++
        Use the coarse clock, not the normal one (e.g. on Linux, that would be
        $(D CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE) instead of $(D CLOCK_REALTIME) for
        $(D clock_gettime) if a function is using the realtime clock). It's
        generally faster to get the time with the coarse clock than the normal
        clock, but it's less precise (e.g. 1 msec instead of 1 usec or 1 nsec).
        Howeover, it $(I is) guaranteed to still have sub-second precision
        (just not as high as with $(D ClockType.normal)).

        On systems which do not support a coarser clock,
        $(D MonoTimeImpl!(ClockType.coarse)) will internally use the same clock
        as $(D MonoTime) does, and $(D Clock.currTime!(ClockType.coarse)) will
        use the same clock as $(D Clock.currTime). This is because the coarse
        clock is doing the same thing as the normal clock (just at lower
        precision), whereas some of the other clock types
        (e.g. $(D ClockType.processCPUTime)) mean something fundamentally
        different. So, treating those as $(D ClockType.normal) on systems where
        they weren't natively supported would give misleading results.

        Most programs should not use the coarse clock, exactly because it's
        less precise, and most programs don't need to get the time often
        enough to care, but for those rare programs that need to get the time
        extremely frequently (e.g. hundreds of thousands of times a second) but
        don't care about high precision, the coarse clock might be appropriate.

        Currently, only Linux and FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD support a coarser clock, and on other
        platforms, it's treated as $(D ClockType.normal).
      +/
    coarse = 2,

    /++
        Uses a more precise clock than the normal one (which is already very
        precise), but it takes longer to get the time. Similarly to
        $(D ClockType.coarse), if it's used on a system that does not support a
        more precise clock than the normal one, it's treated as equivalent to
        $(D ClockType.normal).

        Currently, only FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD supports a more precise clock, where it uses
        $(D CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE) for the monotonic time and
        $(D CLOCK_REALTIME_PRECISE) for the wall clock time.
      +/
    precise = 3,

    /++
        $(BLUE Linux,OpenBSD,Solaris-Only)

        Uses $(D CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID).
      +/
    processCPUTime = 4,

    /++
        $(BLUE Linux-Only)

        Uses $(D CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW).
      +/
    raw = 5,

    /++
        Uses a clock that has a precision of one second (contrast to the coarse
        clock, which has sub-second precision like the normal clock does).

        FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD are the only systems which specifically have a clock set up for
        this (it has $(D CLOCK_SECOND) to use with $(D clock_gettime) which
        takes advantage of an in-kernel cached value), but on other systems, the
        fastest function available will be used, and the resulting $(D SysTime)
        will be rounded down to the second if the clock that was used gave the
        time at a more precise resolution. So, it's guaranteed that the time
        will be given at a precision of one second and it's likely the case that
        will be faster than $(D ClockType.normal), since there tend to be
        several options on a system to get the time at low resolutions, and they
        tend to be faster than getting the time at high resolutions.

        So, the primary difference between $(D ClockType.coarse) and
        $(D ClockType.second) is that $(D ClockType.coarse) sacrifices some
        precision in order to get speed but is still fairly precise, whereas
        $(D ClockType.second) tries to be as fast as possible at the expense of
        all sub-second precision.

/++
    Represents a duration of time of weeks or less (kept internally as hnsecs).
    (e.g. 22 days or 700 seconds).

    It is used when representing a duration of time - such as how long to
    sleep with $(REF Thread.sleep, core,thread).

    In std.datetime, it is also used as the result of various arithmetic
    operations on time points.

    Use the $(LREF dur) function or one of its non-generic aliases to create
    $(D Duration)s.

    It's not possible to create a Duration of months or years, because the
    variable number of days in a month or year makes it impossible to convert
    between months or years and smaller units without a specific date. So,
    nothing uses $(D Duration)s when dealing with months or years. Rather,
    functions specific to months and years are defined. For instance,
    $(REF Date, std,datetime) has $(D add!"years") and $(D add!"months") for adding
    years and months rather than creating a Duration of years or months and
    adding that to a $(REF Date, std,datetime). But Duration is used when dealing
    with weeks or smaller.

    Examples:
--------------------
import std.datetime;

assert(dur!"days"(12) == dur!"hnsecs"(10_368_000_000_000L));
assert(dur!"hnsecs"(27) == dur!"hnsecs"(27));
assert(std.datetime.Date(2010, 9, 7) + dur!"days"(5) ==
       std.datetime.Date(2010, 9, 12));

assert(days(-12) == dur!"hnsecs"(-10_368_000_000_000L));
assert(hnsecs(-27) == dur!"hnsecs"(-27));
assert(std.datetime.Date(2010, 9, 7) - std.datetime.Date(2010, 10, 3) ==
       days(-26));

        Splits out the Duration into the given units.

        split takes the list of time units to split out as template arguments.
        The time unit strings must be given in decreasing order. How it returns
        the values for those units depends on the overload used.

        The overload which accepts function arguments takes integral types in
        the order that the time unit strings were given, and those integers are
        passed by $(D ref). split assigns the values for the units to each
        corresponding integer. Any integral type may be used, but no attempt is
        made to prevent integer overflow, so don't use small integral types in
        circumstances where the values for those units aren't likely to fit in
        an integral type that small.

        The overload with no arguments returns the values for the units in a
        struct with members whose names are the same as the given time unit
        strings. The members are all $(D long)s. This overload will also work
        with no time strings being given, in which case $(I all) of the time
        units from weeks through hnsecs will be provided (but no nsecs, since it
        would always be $(D 0)).

        For both overloads, the entire value of the Duration is split among the
        units (rather than splitting the Duration across all units and then only
        providing the values for the requested units), so if only one unit is
        given, the result is equivalent to $(LREF total).

        $(D "nsecs") is accepted by split, but $(D "years") and $(D "months")
        are not.

        For negative durations, all of the split values will be negative.

    alias for $(D MonoTimeImpl) instantiated with $(D ClockType.normal). This is

    going to be used in most code.
  +/
alias MonoTime = MonoTimeImpl!(ClockType.normal);

/++
    Represents a timestamp of the system's monotonic clock.

    A monotonic clock is one which always goes forward and never moves
    backwards, unlike the system's wall clock time (as represented by
    $(REF SysTime, std,datetime)). The system's wall clock time can be adjusted
    by the user or by the system itself via services such as NTP, so it is
    unreliable to use the wall clock time for timing. Timers which use the wall
    clock time could easily end up never going off due to changes made to the
    wall clock time or otherwise waiting for a different period of time than
    that specified by the programmer. However, because the monotonic clock
    always increases at a fixed rate and is not affected by adjustments to the
    wall clock time, it is ideal for use with timers or anything which requires
    high precision timing.

    So, MonoTime should be used for anything involving timers and timing,
    whereas $(REF SysTime, std,datetime) should be used when the wall clock time
    is required.

    The monotonic clock has no relation to wall clock time. Rather, it holds
    its time as the number of ticks of the clock which have occurred since the
    clock started (typically when the system booted up). So, to determine how
    much time has passed between two points in time, one monotonic time is
    subtracted from the other to determine the number of ticks which occurred
    between the two points of time, and those ticks are divided by the number of
    ticks that occur every second (as represented by MonoTime.ticksPerSecond)
    to get a meaningful duration of time. Normally, MonoTime does these
    calculations for the programmer, but the $(D ticks) and $(D ticksPerSecond)
    properties are provided for those who require direct access to the system
    ticks. The normal way that MonoTime would be used is

--------------------
    MonoTime before = MonoTime.currTime;
    // do stuff...
    MonoTime after = MonoTime.currTime;
    Duration timeElapsed = after - before;
--------------------

    $(LREF MonoTime) is an alias to $(D MonoTimeImpl!(ClockType.normal)) and is
    what most programs should use for the monotonic clock, so that's what is
    used in most of $(D MonoTimeImpl)'s documentation. But $(D MonoTimeImpl)
    can be instantiated with other clock types for those rare programs that need
    it.

        The current time of the system's monotonic clock. This has no relation

        by NTP), whereas the monotonic clock always moves forward. The source
        of the monotonic time is system-specific.

        On Windows, $(D QueryPerformanceCounter) is used. On Mac OS X,
        $(D mach_absolute_time) is used, while on other POSIX systems,
        $(D clock_gettime) is used.

        $(RED Warning): On some systems, the monotonic clock may stop counting
                        when the computer goes to sleep or hibernates. So, the
                        monotonic clock may indicate less time than has actually
                        passed if that occurs. This is known to happen on
                        Mac OS X. It has not been tested whether it occurs on

            ticks, it's usually the case that this assertion will fail
--------------------

// do stuff
auto after = MonoTime.currTime;
auto timeElapsed = after - before;

--------------------

            This is generally fine, and by its very nature, converting from
            system ticks to any type of seconds (hnsecs, nsecs, etc.) will
            introduce rounding errors, but if code needs to avoid any of the
            small rounding errors introduced by conversion, then it needs to use
            MonoTime's $(D ticks) property and keep all calculations in ticks
            rather than using $(LREF Duration).

          $(LREF MonoTime) for the cases where a monotonic timestamp is needed
          and $(LREF Duration) when a duration is needed, rather than using
          TickDuration. It has been decided that TickDuration is too confusing
          (e.g. it conflates a monotonic timestamp and a duration in monotonic
           clock ticks) and that having multiple duration types is too awkward
          and confusing.)

   The system clock ticks are the ticks of the system clock at the highest
   precision that the system provides.

        The current system tick. The number of ticks per second varies from
        system to system. $(D currSystemTick) uses a monotonic clock, so it's
        intended for precision timing by comparing relative time values, not for
        getting the current system time.

        On Windows, $(D QueryPerformanceCounter) is used. On Mac OS X,
        $(D mach_absolute_time) is used, while on other Posix systems,
        $(D clock_gettime) is used. If $(D mach_absolute_time) or
        $(D clock_gettime) is unavailable, then Posix systems use
        $(D gettimeofday) (the decision is made when $(D TickDuration) is
        compiled), which unfortunately, is not monotonic, but if
        $(D mach_absolute_time) and $(D clock_gettime) aren't available, then
        $(D gettimeofday) is the the best that there is.

        $(RED Warning):
            On some systems, the monotonic clock may stop counting when
            the computer goes to sleep or hibernates. So, the monotonic
            clock could be off if that occurs. This is known to happen
            on Mac OS X. It has not been tested whether it occurs on
            either Windows or on Linux.

        Throws:
            $(D TimeException) if it fails to get the time.

    units use truncating division. Years and months can be converted to each

    of days in a month or year).
