Name
       times - get process times

Syntax
       #include <sys/times.h>

       clock_t
       times(buffer)
       struct tms *buffer;

Description
       The  subroutine	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 equivalent to 60.

       The following structure is returned by

       struct tms {
	       clock_t	tms_utime;     /* user time */
	       clock_t	tms_stime;     /* system time */
	       clock_t	tms_cutime;    /* user time, children */
	       clock_t	tms_cstime;    /* system time, children */
       };

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

Return Values
       If successful, the function returns the elapsed time since 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970 in units of 1/60's of a second.  When the function
       fails, it returns -1
