times(3C)               (BSD Compatibility Package)               times(3C)


   NAME
         times - get process times

   SYNOPSIS
         cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb

         #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:
               struct tms {
                    timet  tmsutime;      /* user time */
                    timet  tmsstime;      /* system time */
                    timet  tmscutime;     /* user time, children */
                    timet  tmscstime;     /* system time, children */
               };

         The children's times are the sum of the children's process times and
         their children's times.
