NAME
vtimes - get information about resource usage
SYNOPSIS
vtimes(parvm, chvm)
struct vtimes *parvm, *chvm;
DESCRIPTION
Vtimes returns accounting information for the current
process and for the terminated child processes of the
current process. Par_vm, ch_vm, or both may be 0, in which
case only the information for non-zero pointers is returned.
After the call, each buffer contains information as defined
by the contents of the include file
/usr/include/sys/vtimes.h:
struct vtimes {
int vm_utime; /* user time (*HZ) */
int vm_stime; /* system time (*HZ) */
/* divide next two by utime+stime to get averages */
unsigned vm_idsrss; /* integral of d+s rss */
unsigned vm_ixrss; /* integral of text rss */
int vm_maxrss; /* maximum rss */
int vm_majflt; /* major page faults */
int vm_minflt; /* minor page faults */
int vm_nswap; /* number of swaps */
int vm_inblk; /* block reads */
int vm_oublk; /* block writes */
};
The vm_utime and vm_stime fields give the user and system
time, respectively, in 100ths of a second. The vm_idrss and
vm_ixrss measure memory usage. They are computed by
integrating the number of memory pages in use over CPU time.
They are reported as though computed discretely, adding the
current memory usage (in 2048 byte pages) each time the
clock ticks.
For example, if a process used five main memory pages over
one CPU-second for its data and stack, then vm_idsrss would
have the value 5*100, where vm_utime+vm_stime would be the
100. Vm_idsrss integrates data and stack segment usage,
while vm_ixrss integrates text segment usage. Vm_maxrss
reports the maximum instantaneous sum of the text+data+stack
core-resident page count.
The vm_majflt field gives the number of page faults that
resulted in disk activity; the vm_minflt field gives the
number of page faults incurred in simulation of reference

bits; vm_nswap is the number of swaps that occurred. The
number of file system input/output events are reported in
vm_inblk and vm_oublk. These numbers account only for real
I/O; data supplied by the caching mechanism is charged only
to the first process to read or write the data.
