///
/// @see  bdlt_datetime, bdlt_datetimeinterval, bdlt_epochutil
///
/// # Description {#bdlt_datetimeutil-description}
/// This component provides non-primitive operations on
/// `bdlt::Datetime` objects.  In particular, `bdlt::DatetimeUtil` supplies
/// conversions of universal time to and from the C-standard `struct` `tm`
/// (which we alias as `bsl::tm`) representations.
///
/// This utility component provides the following (static) methods:
/// @code
///  int convertFromTm(bdlt::Datetime *result, const tm& timeStruct);
///  bsl::tm convertToTm(const bdlt::Datetime& datetime);
/// @endcode
///
/// ## Usage {#bdlt_datetimeutil-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Converting Between bsl::tm and bdlt::Datetime {#bdlt_datetimeutil-example-1-converting-between-bsl-tm-and-bdlt-datetime}
///
///
/// When interfacing with legacy systems, we may encounter calls that represent
/// date/time information using the standard `bsl::tm`. In such cases, we have
/// to be able to convert that information to/from a `bdlt::Datetime` object in
/// order to interface with the rest of our systems.
///
/// Suppose we have a legacy system that tracks last-access times in terms of
/// `bsl::tm`. We can use the `convertToTm` and `convertFromTm` routines from
/// this component to convert that information.
///
/// First, we define a class, `MyAccessTracker`, that the legacy system uses to
/// manage last-access times (eliding the implementation for brevity):
/// @code
/// /// This class provides a facility for tracking last access times
/// /// associated with usernames.
/// class MyAccessTracker {
///
///     // LOCAL TYPE
///     typedef bsl::map<bsl::string, bsl::tm>  TStringTmMap;
///
///     // DATA
///     TStringTmMap                            m_accesses; // map names to
///                                                         // accesses

///     // TRAITS
///     BSLMF_NESTED_TRAIT_DECLARATION(MyAccessTracker,
///                                    bslma::UsesBslmaAllocator);

/// @endcode
/// Next, we define a utility to allow us to use `bdlt::Datetime` with our

///     /// Load into the specified `result` the last access time associated

///     /// or the associated access time cannot be converted to
///     /// `bdlt::Datetime`.
///     static int getLastAccess(bdlt::Datetime         *result,
///                              const MyAccessTracker&  tracker,
///                              const bsl::string&      username);
///
///     /// Update the instance pointed to by the specified `tracker` by
///     /// adding the specified `username` with its associated specified

///     static void updateLastAccess(MyAccessTracker       *tracker,
