Module **Timestamp**  
: **sig end**

*type t*

Abstract timestamp included in events.

*val to\_int64* : **t -> int64**

Convert a timestamp to a number of nanosecond.

Note that the starting point for timestamps in unspecified: the absolute value is meaningless, only differences matter.

Also note that the precision of the underlying clock may be coarser than nanoseconds: events may have equal timestamp if they are emitted within the coarseness of the clock.

*val get\_current* : **unit -> t**

Access the current timestamp.

**Since** 5.4
