That is presumably part of the D Standard library.  I am curious 
to know why no mention of this library is included at:

http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

Is it not part of Phobos? Are there standard modules in D that 
are not included in Phobos?  If so, where would one find the list 
of these modules.

All of the core.* modules are part of DRuntime, not Phobos.

Unfortunately none of the core.stdc.* modules are documented. It's 
understandable that duplicating the documentation of the C library is 
not done since that would require extra work. But it would be nice to at 
least see which modules and declarations are available.

I agree.  Even if they are part of DRuntime, and even if there is 
no desire to write full documentation for them, people looking 
through the D site's "Library Reference" should at least be made 
aware of their existence.

The way i see what's available is to take a look at the files 
installed by the compiler. The directory is different for all 
operating systems but it's great to look at the source code of 
all the different modules.

For example on Mac OSX 10.8.5 'core.stdc.config' is located at 
'/usr/share/dmd/src/druntime/src/core/stdc/config.d'. There you 
can see how the types are constructed and what they represent. 
For Linux just type 'locate config.d' in the terminal. For 
Windows it's all in 'C:\d' i think.

I did as you suggested and had a look through what was on my 
system.  Having done so I now think that the documentation at:

http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

is out of date.

If you look at the section under "Imports", this appears to be 
describing what is available under from C, but it appears to 
suggest that you use std.c.config - or at least that is how I 
would have read it.

The 'std.c.*' modules are just publicly importing 'core.stdc.*' 
modules and AFAIK discouraged as it gives the impression they are 
part of Phobos. Using 'core.stdc.*' is informing other developers 
this is core runtime stuff.

Forget 'std.c.*', use 'core.stdc.*'. And you are right, the 
documentation needs a big update!

I knew there was (or used to be) a module that defines D types of 
size equal to the standard C types, but I wasn't finding it, and 
I thought I was going mad. I guess it's just not documented -- 
not even listed in the documentation tree!
