TIMESTAMP(1)							  TIMESTAMP(1)

NAME
       timestamp - log event times

SYNOPSIS
       timestamp [ tag ]

DESCRIPTION
       Timestamp  reads	 lines	from its standard input and writes them to its
       standard output, prefixing each line with the time that it was written,
       in  decimal  milliseconds since timestamp was started. If tag is given,
       it is written along with the time stamp on each line, to enable tagging
       if several writers are each writing to the same log file.

       The  first  line	 written gives the time that timestamp was started, in
       milliseconds since the epoch.  Note that logging events can cause  tim‐
       ings  to	 change,  and  that the timestamps are only as accurate as the
       times reported by /dev/time.
