<p class="para">
<strong class="classname">MongoTimestamp</strong> is used by sharding. If you're not
looking to write sharding tools, what you probably want is
<a href="class.mongodate.html" class="classname">MongoDate</a>.
</p>
<p class="para">
<strong class="classname">MongoTimestamp</strong> is 4 bytes of timestamp (seconds since
the epoch) and 4 bytes of increment.
</p>
<p class="para">
<em class="emphasis">
This class is not for measuring time, creating a timestamp on a
document or automatically adding or updating a timestamp on a document.
</em>
Unless you are writing something that interacts with the sharding internals,
stop, go directly to <a href="class.mongodate.html" class="classname">MongoDate</a>, do not pass go, do
not collect 200 dollars. This is not the class you are looking for.
</p>
<p class="para">
If you are writing sharding tools, read on.
