What is the postfix for min long value?

While writing max ulong value, I added the "u" postfix. So 
compiler accepted it as ulong value (That's my interpretation if 
correct on compiler's side).

writeln( 18_446_744_073_709_551_615u );

But when I try to print out minimum value of long, compiler says
Error: signed integer overflow

writeln( -9_223_372_036_854_775_808 );

In case that is the wrong value, I checked it with writeln( 
long.min ); already.

Do I need to put a postfix for that number? I checked 
documentation by searching "dlang integer" etc, but couldn't have 
found any information/anything about postfix at all.
