TIMES(2)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             TIMES(2)



NAME
     times - get process times

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

     times(buffer)
     struct tms *buffer;

DESCRIPTION
     _T_i_m_e_s 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
     either 50 or 60 depending on your locality.

     This is the structure returned by _t_i_m_e_s:

     /*   times.h   4.1  11/9/80   */

     /*
      * Structure returned by times()
      */
     struct tms {
          time_t    tms_utime;          /* user time */
          time_t    tms_stime;          /* system time */
          time_t    tms_cutime;         /* user time, children */
          time_t    tms_cstime;         /* system time, children */
     };

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