NAME
       times - get process times

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

       times(buffer)
       struct tms *buffer;

DESCRIPTION
       This interface is obsoleted by getrusage(2).

       Times returns time-accounting information for the current process and for the terminated child processes of the current process.  All times
       are in 1/HZ seconds, where HZ is 60.

       This is the structure returned by times:

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

SEE ALSO
       time(1), getrusage(2), wait3(2), time(3)
