Function std.datetime.Clock.currSystemTick
The current system tick. The number of ticks per second varies from
system to system. currSystemTick uses a monotonic clock, so it's
intended for precision timing by comparing relative time values, not
for getting the current system time.
Prototype
static TickDuration currSystemTick() nothrow @property @safe;
Warning
On some systems, the monotonic clock may stop counting when the computer goes to sleep or hibernates. So, the monotonic clock could be off if that occurs. This is known to happen on Mac OS X. It has not been tested whether it occurs on either Windows or Linux.
Throws
DateTimeException if it fails to get the time.
