want know the use of the commands/instruction

I am trying to learn how to develop a plug-in's. For the same reason i go through the http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Tutorials/Timestamp_Plugin

I want to know about few instruction that used while creating a plugin

editor.ui.addButton( 'Timestamp',
{
	label: 'Insert Timestamp',
	command: 'insertTimestamp',//please tell use of command
	icon: this.path + 'images/timestamp.png'
} );

In the mention below tool bar why we write Timestamp though we donot create a folder or file with that name

toolbar :
			[
				[ 'Bold', 'Italic', '-', 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-', 'Link', 'Unlink' ],
				[ 'Timestamp' ]//what that mean

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion

Please note that an updated

Please note that an updated version of this tutorial is available for CKEditor 4.x here: http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/plugin_sdk_sample

The insertTimestamp command should be created by you as this is where you define what your plugin actually does.

In this case we are going to use the CKEDITOR.editor.addCommand function to define an insertTimestamp command that will insert the current date and time into CKEditor:
editor.addCommand( 'insertTimestamp', {
    exec: function( editor ) {
        var now = new Date();
        editor.insertHtml( 'The current date and time is: <em>' + now.toString() + '</em>' );
    }
});

As for the second question, not sure I understand. If what worries you is why "Timestamp" starts with upper-case "T" and not lower-case "t" like the folder name, then this is a CKEditor convention, all toolbar buttons start with an upper-case letter.
