As strange as it sounds, after 20 minutes reading the docs about std.datetime I could not figure out how to get a SysTime object starting from a long unixtime. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, any tips?
Thanks,
dat

The "interfacing to C" header of this page talks about it:

http://dlang.org/intro-to-datetime.html

import std.datetime;
import core.stdc.time;
void main() {
        time_t unixTime = core.stdc.time.time(null);
        auto stdTime = unixTimeToStdTime(unixTime);
        auto st = SysTime(stdTime);
}


I wish std.datetime made this a bit easier but that's how to do it.

Sorry, "interfacing with C", search for those words on that page
and it will bring you to the header.

see

import std.stdio;
import std.datetime;
import std.process;


void main() {
	auto ct = Clock.currTime;
	write("\n\n\tData: ",ct.day," / ",ct.month," / ",ct.year,".\n");

	auto tv = Clock.currTime;
	write("\tHour: ",
	      tv.hour,":",
	      tv.minute,":",
	      tv.second,".",
	      tv.fracSec,"\n ");
	writeln("\n");
	wait(spawnShell("pause"));
}

thanks, that did the trick!
