Use the spelling "timestamp", as that is what POSIX uses.

This function is missing on some platforms:
mingw, MSVC 9.

The @code{inet_ntoa} function need not be reentrant, and consequently
is not required to be thread safe. Implementations of
@code{inet_ntoa} typically write the timestamp into static buffer.
If two threads call @code{inet_ntoa} at roughly the same time, you
might end up with the wrong date in one of the threads, or some
undefined string.
@end itemize
Note: @code{inet_ntoa} is specific for IPv4 addresses.
A protocol independent function is @code{inet_ntop}.
