NAME

       times - get process times

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/cc [ flag ... ] file ...
       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/times.h>

       int times(tmsp)
       register struct tms *tmsp;

DESCRIPTION

       The  times()  function  returns	time-accounting  information for the current process and for the terminated child processes of the current
       process.  All times are reported in clock ticks. The number of clock ticks per second is defined by the	variable  CLK_TCK,  found  in  the
       header <limits.h>.

       A structure with the following members is returned by times():

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

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, times() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1.

NOTES

       Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms.  Use of these interfaces with any of the system
       libraries or in multi-threaded applications is unsupported.

       The times() function has been superseded by getrusage(3C).
