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:

/*
* Structure returned by times()
*/
struct tms {
time_t tms_utime; /* user time */
time_t tms_stime; /* system time */
time_t tms_cutime; /* user time, children */
time_t tms_cstime; /* system time, children */
};

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