+allows you to mock the PHP's built-in time functions ``time()``, ``microtime()``,
+``sleep()``, ``usleep()`` and ``gmdate()``. Additionally the function ``date()``
+is mocked so it uses the mocked time if no timestamp is specified.
+
+This means that you don't need to make a single change in your original code, except when using ``new DateTime()``, which must be replaced by ``DateTime::createFromFormat('U', time())`` to use the mocked ``time()`` function.
+
+Other functions with an optional timestamp parameter that defaults to ``time()``
+will still use the system time instead of the mocked time.
 
 To use the ``ClockMock`` class in your test, add the ``@group time-sensitive``
 annotation to its class or methods. This annotation only works when executing
