|
|
.In sys/times.h
|
|
.Ft clock_t
|
|
.Fn times "struct tms *tp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
This interface is obsoleted by
|
|
.Xr getrusage 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr gettimeofday 2 .
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn times
|
|
function returns the value of time in
|
|
.Dv CLK_TCK Ns 's
|
|
of a second since the system startup time.
|
|
The current value of
|
|
.Dv CLK_TCK ,
|
|
the frequency of the statistics clock in ticks per second, may be
|
|
obtained through the
|
|
.Xr sysconf 3
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It also fills in the structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa tp
|
|
with time-accounting information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt tms
|
|
structure is defined as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct tms {
|
|
clock_t tms_utime;
|
|
clock_t tms_stime;
|
|
clock_t tms_cutime;
|
|
clock_t tms_cstime;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The elements of this structure are defined as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va tms_cutime"
|
|
.It Va tms_utime
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
time charged for the execution of user instructions.
|
|
.It Va tms_stime
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
time charged for execution by the system on behalf of
|
|
the process.
|
|
.It Va tms_cutime
|
|
The sum of the
|
|
.Va tms_utime Ns s
|
|
and
|
|
.Va tms_cutime Ns s
|
|
of the child processes.
|
|
.It Va tms_cstime
|
|
The sum of the
|
|
.Fa tms_stime Ns s
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa tms_cstime Ns s
|
|
of the child processes.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All times are in
|
|
.Dv CLK_TCK Ns 's
|
|
of a second.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The times of a terminated child process are included in the
|
|
.Va tms_cutime
|
|
and
|
|
.Va tms_cstime
|
|
elements of the parent when one of the
|
|
.Xr wait 2
|
|
functions returns the process ID of the terminated child to the parent.
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
|
.Fn times
|
|
returns the value
|
|
.Pq Po Vt clock_t Pc Ns \-1 ,
|
|
and sets
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn times
|
|
function
|
|
may fail and set the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
for any of the errors specified for the library
|
|
routines
|
|
.Xr getrusage 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr gettimeofday 2 .
