NAME
     vtimes - get information about resource utilization

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/vtimes.h>

     vtimes(parvm, chvm)
     struct vtimes *parvm, *chvm;

DESCRIPTION
     This facility is superseded by getrusage(2).

     vtimes returns accounting information for the current pro-
     cess and for the terminated child processes of the current
     process.  Either par_vm or ch_vm or both may be 0, in which
     case only the information for the pointers which are non-
     zero 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 60ths of a second (or 50ths if that is
     the frequency of wall current in your locality.) The
     vm_idrss and vm_ixrss measure memory usage.  They are com-
     puted by integrating the number of memory pages in use each
     over cpu time.  They are reported as though computed
     discretely, adding the current memory usage (in 512 byte
     pages) each time the clock ticks.  If a process used 5 core
     pages over 1 cpu-second for its data and stack, then
     vm_idsrss would have the value 5*60, where vm_utime+vm_stime
     would be the 60. 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 which
     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 which 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.
