NAME

       BSON::Timestamp - BSON type wrapper for timestamps

VERSION

       version v1.4.0

SYNOPSIS

           use BSON::Types ':all';

           bson_timestamp( $seconds );
           bson_timestamp( $seconds, $increment );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a BSON timestamp value.

       Generally, it should not be used by end-users, but is provided for backwards compatibility.

ATTRIBUTES

   seconds
       A value representing seconds since the Unix epoch.  The default is current value of "time()".

   increment
       A numeric value to disambiguate timestamps in the same second.  The default is 0.

METHODS

   TO_JSON
       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, returns a hashref compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON
       <https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongodb-extended-json/> format, which represents it as a
       document as follows:

           {"$timestamp" : { "t":<seconds>, "i":<increment> }}

       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is false, an error is thrown, as this value can't otherwise be represented
       in JSON.
