Serializable, Comparable<TimeStamp>
```
public class TimeStamp
extends Object
implements Serializable, Comparable<TimeStamp>
```
TimeStamp class represents the Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamp as defined in RFC-1305 and SNTP (RFC-2030). It is represented as a 64-bit unsigned fixed-point number in seconds relative to 0-hour on 1-January-1900. The 32-bit low-order bits are the fractional seconds whose precision is about 200 picoseconds. Assumes overflow date when date passes MAX_LONG and reverts back to 0 is 2036 and not 1900. Test for most significant bit: if MSB=0 then 2036 basis is used otherwise 1900 if MSB=1.
Methods exist to convert NTP timestamps to and from the equivalent Java date representation, which is the number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the epoch", namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

  - getNtpTime
```
public static TimeStamp getNtpTime(long dateMillis)
```
    Gets an NTP timestamp object from a Java time. Note that Java time (milliseconds) by definition has less precision than NTP time (picoseconds) so converting Ntptime to Javatime and back to Ntptime loses precision. For example, Tue, Dec 17 2002 09:07:24.810 is represented by a single Java-based time value of f22cd1fc8a, but its NTP equivalent are all values from c1a9ae1c.cf5c28f5 to c1a9ae1c.cf9db22c.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dateMillis - the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
    
    Returns:
    
    NTP timestamp object at the specified date.
  - getSeconds
```
public long getSeconds()
```
    Gets the high-order 32-bits representing the seconds of this NTP timestamp.
    
    Returns:
    
    seconds represented by this NTP timestamp.
  - getTime
```
public long getTime()
```
    Gets a Java standard time in milliseconds from the NTP timestamp.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this NTP timestamp value.
  - getTime
```
public static long getTime(long ntpTimeValue)
```
    Gets a Java standard time from a 64-bit NTP timestamp. Note that java time (milliseconds) by definition has less precision than NTP time (picoseconds) so converting NTP timestamp to Java time and back to NTP timestamp loses precision. For example, Tue, Dec 17 2002 09:07:24.810 EST is represented by a single Java-based time value of f22cd1fc8a, but its NTP equivalent are all values ranging from c1a9ae1c.cf5c28f5 to c1a9ae1c.cf9db22c.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ntpTimeValue - the input time
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this NTP timestamp value.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Computes a hash code for this Timestamp. The result is the exclusive OR of the two halves of the primitive long value represented by this TimeStamp object. That is, the hash code is the value of the expression:
    (int) (this.ntpValue() ^ (this.ntpValue() >>> 32))
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for this object.
  - ntpValue
```
public long ntpValue()
```
    Returns the value of this Timestamp as a long value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the 64-bit long value represented by this object.
  - parseNtpString
```
public static TimeStamp parseNtpString(String s)
                                throws NumberFormatException
```
    Parses the string argument as a NTP hexidecimal timestamp representation string (e.g. "c1a089bd.fc904f6d").
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - hexstring.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Timestamp represented by the argument in hexidecimal.
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - - if the string does not contain a parsable timestamp.
  - toDateString

    Returns:
    
    NTP timestamp representation of Java time value.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Converts this TimeStamp object to a String. The NTP timestamp 64-bit long value is represented as hexadecimal string with seconds separated by fractional seconds by a decimal point; e.g. c1a089bd.fc904f6d == Tue, Dec 10 2002 10:41:49.986
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    NTP timestamp 64-bit long value as hexadecimal string with seconds separated by fractional seconds.
  - toString
```
public static String toString(long ntpTime)
```
    Converts 64-bit NTP timestamp value to a String. The NTP timestamp value is represented as hexadecimal string with seconds separated by fractional seconds by a decimal point; e.g. c1a089bd.fc904f6d == Tue, Dec 10 2002 10:41:49.986
    
    Parameters:
    
    ntpTime - the 64 bit timestamp
    
    Returns:
    
    NTP timestamp 64-bit long value as hexadecimal string with seconds separated by fractional seconds.
  - toUTCString
```
public String toUTCString()
