//! # Timestamp Pallet
//!
//! The Timestamp pallet provides functionality to get and set the on-chain time.
//!
//! - [`timestamp::Config`](./trait.Config.html)
//! - [`Call`](./enum.Call.html)
//! - [`Pallet`](./struct.Pallet.html)
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The Timestamp pallet 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 pallet 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.
//!
//! ### Config Getters
//!
//! * `MinimumPeriod` - Gets the minimum (and advised) period between blocks for the chain.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! The following example shows how to use the Timestamp pallet in your custom pallet to query the current timestamp.
//!
//! ### Prerequisites
//!
//! Import the Timestamp pallet into your custom pallet and derive the pallet configuration
//! trait from the timestamp trait.
//!
//! ### Get current timestamp
//!
//! ```
//! use frame_support::{decl_module, dispatch};
//! # use pallet_timestamp as timestamp;
//! use frame_system::ensure_signed;
//!
//! pub trait Config: timestamp::Config {}
//!
//! decl_module! {
//! 	pub struct Module<T: Config> for enum Call where origin: T::Origin {
//! 		#[weight = 0]
//! 		pub fn get_time(origin) -> dispatch::DispatchResult {
//! 			let _sender = ensure_signed(origin)?;
//! 			let _now = <timestamp::Module<T>>::get();
//! 			Ok(())
//! 		}
//! 	}
//! }
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! ### Example from the FRAME
//!
//! The [Session pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/frame/session/src/lib.rs) uses
//! the Timestamp pallet for session management.
//!
//! ## Related Pallets
//!
