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

NAME

       clock_getcpuclockid - obtain ID of a process CPU-time clock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       int clock_getcpuclockid(pid_t pid, clockid_t *clock_id);

       Link with -lrt.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       clock_getcpuclockid(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600

DESCRIPTION

       The  clock_getcpuclockid()  function  obtains  the  ID of the CPU-time clock of the process whose ID is pid, and returns it in the location
       pointed to by clock_id.	If pid is zero, then the clock ID of the CPU-time clock of the calling process is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, clock_getcpuclockid() returns 0; on error, it returns a positive error number.

ERRORS

       ENOSYS The kernel does not support obtaining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process,	and  pid  does	not  specify  the  calling
	      process.

       EPERM  The  caller  does not have permission to access the CPU-time clock of the process specified by pid.  (Specified as an optional error
	      in POSIX.1-2001; does not occur on Linux unless the kernel does not support obtaining the  per-process  CPU-time	clock  of  another
	      process.)

       ESRCH  There is no process with the ID pid.

VERSIONS

       The clock_getcpuclockid() function is available in glibc since version 2.2.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       Calling	clock_gettime(2)  with the clock ID obtained by a call to clock_getcpuclockid() with a pid of 0, is the same as using the clock ID
       CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLE

       The example program below obtains the CPU-time clock ID of the process whose ID is given on the command	line,  and  then  uses	clock_get-
       time(2) to obtain the time on that clock.  An example run is the following:

	   $ ./a.out 1		       # Show CPU clock of init process
	   CPU-time clock for PID 1 is 2.213466748 seconds

   Program source

       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <time.h>

       int
       main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
	   clockid_t clockid;
	   struct timespec ts;

	   if (argc != 2) {
	       fprintf(stderr, "%s <process-ID>
", argv[0]);
	    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	   }

	   if (clock_getcpuclockid(atoi(argv[1]), &clockid) != 0) {
	    perror("clock_getcpuclockid");
	    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	   }

	   if (clock_gettime(clockid, &ts) == -1) {
	    perror("clock_gettime");
	    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	   }

	   printf("CPU-time clock for PID %s is %ld.%09ld seconds
",
		argv[1], (long) ts.tv_sec, (long) ts.tv_nsec);
	   exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
