//! The `nt-time` crate is a [Windows file time] library.
//!
//! The [`FileTime`] is a type that represents the file time, which is a 64-bit
//! unsigned integer value that represents the number of 100-nanosecond
//! intervals that have elapsed since "1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC", and is used as
//! timestamps such as [NTFS] or [7z]. Windows uses a file time to record when
//! an application creates, accesses, or writes to a file.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## Basic usage
//!
//! [`FileTime`] can be converted from and to a type which represents time such
//! as [`time::UtcDateTime`]. Addition and subtraction are also supported.
//!
//! ```
//! use core::time::Duration;
//!
//! use nt_time::{
//!     FileTime,
//!     time::{UtcDateTime, macros::utc_datetime},
//! };
//!
//! let ft = FileTime::NT_TIME_EPOCH;
//! assert_eq!(
//!     UtcDateTime::try_from(ft),
//!     Ok(utc_datetime!(1601-01-01 00:00:00))
//! );
//!
//! let ft = ft + Duration::from_secs(11_644_473_600);
//! assert_eq!(UtcDateTime::try_from(ft), Ok(UtcDateTime::UNIX_EPOCH));
//! assert_eq!(ft.to_raw(), 116_444_736_000_000_000);
//!
//! // The practical largest file time.
//! assert_eq!(FileTime::try_from(i64::MAX), Ok(FileTime::SIGNED_MAX));
//! // The theoretical largest file time.
//! assert_eq!(FileTime::new(u64::MAX), FileTime::MAX);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Conversion from and to other system times
//!
//! [`FileTime`] can be converted from and to other system times such as [Unix
//! time] or [MS-DOS date and time].
//!
//! ### Unix time
//!
//! ```
//! use nt_time::{
//!     FileTime,
//!     time::{UtcDateTime, macros::utc_datetime},
//! };
//!
//! // `1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC`.
//! let dt = UtcDateTime::UNIX_EPOCH;
//! assert_eq!(dt, utc_datetime!(1970-01-01 00:00:00));
//!
//! // Convert to a `FileTime`.
//! let ft = FileTime::from_unix_time_secs(dt.unix_timestamp()).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(ft, FileTime::UNIX_EPOCH);
//!
//! // Back to Unix time.
//! let ut = ft.to_unix_time_secs();
//! assert_eq!(ut, 0);
//! ```
//!
//! ### MS-DOS date and time
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "dos-date-time")]
//! # {
//! use nt_time::{FileTime, dos_date_time::DateTime};
//!
//! // `1980-01-01 00:00:00`.
//! let dt = DateTime::MIN;
//! assert_eq!(dt.to_string(), "1980-01-01 00:00:00");
//!
//! // Convert to a `FileTime`.
//! let ft = FileTime::from(dt);
//! assert_eq!(ft, FileTime::new(119_600_064_000_000_000));
//!
//! // Back to MS-DOS date and time.
//! let dt = DateTime::try_from(ft).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(
//!     (dt.date().to_raw(), dt.time().to_raw()),
//!     (0b0000_0000_0010_0001, u16::MIN)
//! );
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Formatting and printing the file time
//!
//! The formatting traits for [`FileTime`] are implemented to show the
//! underlying [`u64`] value. If you need a human-readable date and time,
//! convert [`FileTime`] to a type which represents time such as
//! [`time::UtcDateTime`].
//!
//! ```
//! use nt_time::{FileTime, time::UtcDateTime};
//!
//! let ft = FileTime::NT_TIME_EPOCH;
//! assert_eq!(format!("{ft}"), "0");
//!
//! let dt = UtcDateTime::try_from(ft).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(format!("{dt}"), "1601-01-01 0:00:00.0 +00");
//! ```
