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 any 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: struct tms { time_ttms_utime;/* user time */  time_t tms_stime; /* system time */  time_t tms_cutime; /* user time, children */  time_t tms_cstime; /* system time, children */ }; The “children” times are the sum of the children’s process times and their children’s times. 

On DOMAIN Systems, the system time is always returned as 0, since it is considered part of the user time.
