I have two questions that I can't seem to find a solution to
after looking at std.datetime.
First question is how do I get the current time but in
milliseconds?
Second is how do I construct a time ex. systime or datetime
based on milliseconds?
Thanks
Unixtime might be what you want:
import std;
import std.datetime;
import std.stdio;
void main() {
// Get the current time in the UTC time zone
auto currentTime = Clock.currTime();
// Convert the time to the Unix epoch
(1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)
Duration unixTime = currentTime -
SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), UTC());
You can do `SysTime(unixTimeToStdTime(0))` to get a SysTime that
is at the unix epoch.
Also figured out the second question based on your result.
Simply doing:
```
SysTime(DateTime(1970, 1, 1), UTC()) + dur!"msecs"(milliseconds)
```
Seems to work.
Note there is an `msecs` function:
```d
SysTime(unixTimeToStdTime(0)) + milliseconds.msecs;
```
