TIMES(3C-BSD)       RISC/os Reference Manual        TIMES(3C-BSD)



NAME
     times - get process times

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/times.h>

     times(buffer)
     struct tms *buffer;

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is obsoleted by getrusage(2).

     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 {

          time_t    tms_stime;          /* system time */
          time_t    tms_cutime;         /* user time, children */
          time_t    tms_cstime;         /* system time, children */
     };

     #endif    _SYS_TIMES_

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