//! # Timestamp Module
//!
//! The Timestamp module provides functionality to get and set the on-chain time.
//!
//! - [`timestamp::Trait`](./trait.Trait.html)
//! - [`Call`](./enum.Call.html)
//! - [`Module`](./struct.Module.html)
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The Timestamp module allows the validators to set and validate a timestamp with each block.
//!
//! It uses inherents for timestamp data, which is provided by the block author and validated/verified
//! by other validators. The timestamp can be set only once per block and must be set each block.
//! There could be a constraint on how much time must pass before setting the new timestamp.
//!
//! **NOTE:** The Timestamp module is the recommended way to query the on-chain time instead of using
//! an approach based on block numbers. The block number based time measurement can cause issues
//! because of cumulative calculation errors and hence should be avoided.
//!
//! ## Interface
//!
//! ### Dispatchable Functions
//!
//! * `set` - Sets the current time.
//!
//! ### Public functions
//!
//! * `get` - Gets the current time for the current block. If this function is called prior to
//! setting the timestamp, it will return the timestamp of the previous block.
//!
//! ### Trait Getters
//!
//! * `MinimumPeriod` - Gets the minimum (and advised) period between blocks for the chain.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! The following example shows how to use the Timestamp module in your custom module to query the current timestamp.
//!
//! ### Prerequisites
//!
//! Import the Timestamp module into your custom module and derive the module configuration
//! trait from the timestamp trait.
//!
//! ### Get current timestamp
//!
//! ```
//! use srml_support::{decl_module, dispatch::Result};
//! # use srml_timestamp as timestamp;
//! use system::ensure_signed;
//!
//! pub trait Trait: timestamp::Trait {}
//!
//! decl_module! {
//! pub struct Module for enum Call where origin: T::Origin {
//! pub fn get_time(origin) -> Result {
//! let _sender = ensure_signed(origin)?;
//! let _now = >::get();
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! ### Example from the SRML
//!
//! The [Session module](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/srml/session/src/lib.rs) uses
//! the Timestamp module for session management.
//!
