So, there is a module core.stdc.config (referenced here):

That is presumably part of the D Standard library. I am
curious to know why no mention of this library is included at:
http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html
Is it not part of Phobos? Are there standard modules in D that
are not included in Phobos? If so, where would one find the
list of these modules.
The way i see what's available is to take a look at the files
installed by the compiler. The directory is different for all
operating systems but it's great to look at the source code of
all the different modules.
For example on Mac OSX 10.8.5 'core.stdc.config' is located at
'/usr/share/dmd/src/druntime/src/core/stdc/config.d'. There you
can see how the types are constructed and what they represent.
For Linux just type 'locate config.d' in the terminal. For
Windows it's all in 'C:\d' i think.
I did as you suggested and had a look through what was on my
system. Having done so I now think that the documentation at:
http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html
is out of date.
If you look at the section under "Imports", this appears to be
describing what is available under from C, but it appears to
suggest that you use std.c.config - or at least that is how I
would have read it.
