27 *
28 * SDL realtime clock and date/time routines.
29 *
30 * There are two data types that are used in this category: SDL_Time, which
31 * represents the nanoseconds since a specific moment (an "epoch"), and
32 * SDL_DateTime, which breaks time down into human-understandable components:
33 * years, months, days, hours, etc.
34 *
35 * Much of the functionality is involved in converting those two types to
36 * other useful forms.
