+
+@brief
+ Snapshot of a \bt_stream clock.
+
+A <strong><em>clock snapshot</em></strong> is a snapshot of the value
+of a \bt_stream clock (a \bt_clock_cls instance).
+
+A clock snapshot is a \ref api-tir "trace IR" data object.
+
+<em>Stream clocks</em> only exist conceptually in \bt_name because they
+are stateful objects. \bt_cp_msg cannot refer to stateful objects
+because they must not change while being transported from one
+\bt_comp to the other.
+
+Instead of having a stream clock object, messages have a default
+clock snapshot: this is a snapshot of the value of a stream's
+default clock (a clock class instance):
+
+@image html clocks.png
+
+In the illustration above, notice that:
+
+- Each stream has a default clock (yellow bell alarm clock): this is an
+ instance of the stream's class's default clock class.
+- Each \bt_msg (objects in blue stream rectangles) created for a given
+ stream has a default clock snapshot (yellow star): this is a snapshot
+ of the stream's default clock.
+
+ In other words, a default clock snapshot contains the value of the
+ stream's default clock when this message occured.
+
+A clock snapshot is a \ref api-fund-unique-object "unique object": it
+belongs to a \bt_msg.
+
+The type of a clock snapshot is #bt_clock_snapshot.
+
+You cannot create a clock snapshot: you specify a clock snapshot value
+(in clock cycles, a \c uint64_t value) when you create a \bt_msg or set
+a message's clock snapshot with one of:
+
+- bt_message_stream_beginning_set_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_stream_end_set_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_event_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_event_create_with_packet_and_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_packet_beginning_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_packet_end_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
+- bt_message_discarded_events_create_with_default_clock_snapshots()
+- bt_message_discarded_packets_create_with_default_clock_snapshots()
+- bt_message_message_iterator_inactivity_create()
+
+See \ref api-tir-clock-cls-origin "Clock value vs. clock class origin"
+to understand the meaning of a clock's value in relation to the
+properties of its class.
