I know that modules can be grouped together in heirarchies called packages
.And modules corresponding to directory of sourcefiles. But D compile source
to native code so if I want to make a packages or a lib which allows user
"import mymodule" and don't need to release the source files , what steps
will I do ?
This is the thing I see  in socket.d :
extern(Windows) export int ioctlsocket(  SOCKET s,  int cmd,  u_long *argp);
but it is the interface to API of Windows , not a D lib .

 - source mymodule.d -
module mymodule;
int foo() { return 2; }

 - stripped mymodule.d -
module mymodule;
int foo();

 -
Compile source and import stripped. You can't do it exactly like a C or
Windows function because the module (and package) name is part of a D
[function] name; D functions don't have a single, global namespace. They can
have different filenames but the module statement needs to be the same.
