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.
