In computing, timestamping refers to the use of an electronic timestamp to provide a temporal order among a set of events.

Timestamping techniques are used in a variety of computing fields, from network management and computer security to concurrency control.cite-ref-1[1]cite-ref-2[2] For instance, a heartbeat network uses timestamping to monitor the nodes on a high availability computer cluster.cite-ref-hbn-3-0[3]

Timestamping computer files (updating the timestamp in the per-file metadata every time a file is modified) makes it possible to use efficient build automation tools.
