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.
