|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn kvm_getcptime
|
||
|
function stores the global CPU time statistics from the kernel
|
||
|
.Fa kd
|
||
|
in the array of counters pointed to by
|
||
|
.Fa cp_time .
|
||
|
Note that
|
||
|
.Fa cp_time
|
||
|
should point to an array of
|
||
|
.Dv CPUSTATES
|
||
|
long integers.
|
||
|
The format of the counters is identical to that output by the
|
||
|
.Va kern.cp_time
|
||
|
sysctl.
|
||
|
.Sh CACHING
|
||
|
This function caches the nlist values for various kernel variables which it
|
||
|
reuses in successive calls.
|
||
|
You may call the function with
|
||
|
.Fa kd
|
||
|
set to
|
||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||
|
to clear this cache.
|
||
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Nm kvm_getcptime
|
||
|
function returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
|
||
|
If an error occurs,
|
||
|
then an error message may be retrieved via
|
||
|
.Xr kvm_geterr 3 .
