TIMES

times − get process times

#include <sys/times.h>

clock_t times(struct tms *buf);

times stores the current process times in buf.

struct tms is as defined in /usr/include/sys/times.h:

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

times returns the number of clock ticks that have elapsed since the system has been up.
