times(3UCB)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions					       times(3UCB)

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       The times() function has been superseded by getrusage(3C).

NAME

       times - get process times

SYNOPSIS

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

       int times(struct tms *buffer)

DESCRIPTION

       Times returns time-accounting information for the current process and for the terminated child processes of the current process.  All times
       are in 1/CLOCKS_PER_SEC seconds.

       This is the structure returned by times:

	      struct tms {
		  clock_t tms_utime;  /* user time for this process */
		  clock_t tms_stime;  /* system time for this process */
		  clock_t tms_cutime; /* children's user time */
		  clock_t tms_cstime; /* children's system time */
	      };

       The user time is the number of clock ticks used by a process on its own computations.  The system time is the number of clock  ticks  spent
       inside the kernel on behalf of a process.  This does not include time spent waiting for I/O to happen, only actual CPU instruction times.

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

RETURN

       Times returns 0 on success, otherwise -1 with the error code stored into the global variable errno.

ERRORS

       The following error code may be set in errno:

       [EFAULT]       The address specified by the buffer parameter is not in a valid part of the process address space.
