Is there some header/module that includes declaration for all C standard libraries?

It is in core.stdc. For example:

import core.stdc.stdio; // <stdio.h>
import core.stdc.stdlib;// <stdlib.h>

etc.

what in D--even after looking through the docs--would do something equivalent to clock and CLOCKS_PER_SEC in the C standard library time.h.

import core.stdc.time;

import std.stdio; // for writeln
writeln(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);


The C headers in D aren't much documented, but they have all the same stuff as in C itself, so if you translate the include to import, the rest should continue to just work.


If you want to get to more OS specific stuff, outside the C standard but still typical C libs, it is core.sys.posix.unistd; /* <unistd.h> */ core.sys.windows.windows /* <windows.h> */ and so on.

The windows.h translation is *horribly* incomplete though, so if you want to do a serious win32 program you'll probably want to get something else. There's a win32 bindings somewhere on the net, if you need it I can find the link.
