Documentation

Non-nil enables time-stamping of buffers by M-x time-stamp (time-stamp).

Can be toggled by M-x time-stamp-toggle-active (time-stamp-toggle-active).

This option does not affect when time-stamp is run, only what it does when it runs. To activate automatic time-stamping of buffers when they are saved, either add this line to your init file:
    (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp)
or customize option before-save-hook.

To enable automatic time-stamping for only a specific file, add this line to a local variables list near the end of the file:
    eval: (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp nil t)

See also the variable time-stamp-warn-inactive.
