MqlTick time property: server or client

Is the time of Mqltick object coming from the broker/data provider server or it's just a timestamp taken by the client (metatrader) on every incoming new tick ?

Server time like TimeCurrent() - compare it, locale time is available via TimeLocal().

Btw you can find everything if the Reference just press F1 in the Editor.
