-- Operating System Facilities.
-- This library is implemented through table os.
-- @module os
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Returns a string or a table containing date and time, formatted according
-- to the given string `format`.
--
-- If the `time` argument is present, this is the time to be formatted
-- (see the `os.time` function for a description of this value). Otherwise,
-- `date` formats the current time.
--
-- If `format` starts with '`!`', then the date is formatted in Coordinated
-- Universal Time. After this optional character, if `format` is the string
-- "`*t`", then `date` returns a table with the following fields:
--
-- * `year` (four digits)
-- * `month` (1--12)
-- * `day` (1--31)
-- * `hour` (0--23)
-- * `min` (0--59)
-- * `sec` (0--61)
-- * `wday` (weekday, Sunday is 1)
-- * `yday` (day of the year)
-- * `isdst` (daylight saving flag, a boolean).
--
-- If `format` is not "`*t`", then `date` returns the date as a string,
-- formatted according to the same rules as the C function `strftime`.
-- When called without arguments, `date` returns a reasonable date and time
-- representation that depends on the host system and on the current locale
-- (that is, `os.date()` is equivalent to `os.date("%c")`).
-- @function [parent=#os] date
-- @param #string format format of date. (optional)
-- @param #number time time to format. (default value is current time)
-- @return #string a formatted string representation of `time`.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Returns the number of seconds from time `t1` to time `t2`. In POSIX,
-- Windows, and some other systems, this value is exactly `t2`*-*`t1`.
-- @function [parent=#os] difftime
-- @param #number t2
-- @param #number t1
-- @return #number the number of seconds from time `t1` to time `t2`.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Returns the current time when called without arguments, or a time
-- representing the date and time specified by the given table. This table
-- must have fields `year`, `month`, and `day`, and may have fields `hour`,
-- `min`, `sec`, and `isdst` (for a description of these fields, see the
-- `os.date` function).
--
-- The returned value is a number, whose meaning depends on your system. In
-- POSIX, Windows, and some other systems, this number counts the number
-- of seconds since some given start time (the "epoch"). In other systems,
-- the meaning is not specified, and the number returned by `time` can be
-- used only as an argument to `date` and `difftime`.
-- @function [parent=#os] time
-- @param #table table a table which describes a date.
-- @return #number a number meaning a date.
