TIMES(3C)
NAME
times − get process times
USAGE
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/times.h>
times(buffer)
struct tms *buffer;
DESCRIPTION
Times returns time-accounting information for the current process and for the terminated child processes of the current process. All times are in 1/HZ seconds, where HZ is 60.
This is the structure returned by times:
/*times.h6.183/07/29*/
/*
* Structure returned by times()
*/
struct tms {
time_ttms_utime;/* user time */
time_ttms_stime;/* system time */
time_ttms_cutime;/* user time, children */
time_ttms_cstime;/* system time, children */
};
The children times are the sum of the children’s process times and their children’s times. The system time is always returned as 0, since it is considered part of the user time.
