PTHREAD_GETCPUCLOCKID(3)				     Linux Programmer's Manual					  PTHREAD_GETCPUCLOCKID(3)

NAME

       pthread_getcpuclockid - retrieve ID of a thread's CPU time clock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>
       #include <time.h>

       int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clock_id);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_getcpuclockid() function returns the clock ID for the CPU time clock of the thread thread.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number.

ERRORS

       ENOENT Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system.

       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.

VERSIONS

       This function is available in glibc since version 2.2.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       When thread refers to the calling thread, this function returns an identifier that refers to the same clock manipulated by clock_gettime(2)
       and clock_settime(2) when given the clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLE

       The program below creates a thread and then uses clock_gettime(2) to retrieve the total process CPU time, and the per-thread CPU time  con-
       sumed by the two threads.  The following shell session shows an example run:
	   $ ./a.out
	   Main thread sleeping
	   Subthread starting infinite loop
	   Main thread consuming some CPU time...
	   Process total CPU time:    1.368
	   Main thread CPU time:      0.376
	   Subthread CPU time:	      0.992
