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.
