GETRUSAGE(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						     GETRUSAGE(3P)

PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       getrusage - get information about resource utilization

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/resource.h>

       int getrusage(int who, struct rusage *r_usage);

DESCRIPTION

       The getrusage() function shall provide measures of the resources used by the current process or its terminated and  waited-for  child  pro-
       cesses.	If the value of the who argument is RUSAGE_SELF, information shall be returned about resources used by the current process. If the
       value of the who argument is RUSAGE_CHILDREN, information shall be returned about resources used by the terminated and waited-for  children
       of  the current process. If the child is never waited for (for example, if the parent has SA_NOCLDWAIT set or sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN), the
       resource information for the child process is discarded and not included in the resource information provided by getrusage().

       The r_usage argument is a pointer to an object of type struct rusage in which the returned information is stored.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, getrusage() shall return 0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The getrusage() function shall fail if:

       EINVAL The value of the who argument is not valid.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

   Using getrusage()
       The following example returns information about the resources used by the current process.

	      #include <sys/resource.h>
	      ...
	      int who = RUSAGE_SELF;
	      struct rusage usage;
	      int ret;

	      ret = getrusage(who, &usage);

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
