TAPSET::TIMESTAMP(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

tapset::timestamp — the systemtap timestamp tapset, aka your lil clock bestie 💅 (this is from the 3stap manual, just so we're clear 🎀)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so every single timestamp function in here hands you back a value that says when a function actually ran. that's the whole vibe. ⏰

and then bestie, you can take those returned values and do iconic things with them:

• say when an event happened 🗓️
• give your events an ordering, so you know which one came first 👑
• or compute how much time elapsed between two timestamps ⏳
