TIMES(II) 2/10/73 TIMES(II) NAME times -- get process times SYNOPSIS sys times; buffer / times = 43.; not in assembler ... buffer: .=.+[24.*3] DESCRIPTION times returns time-accounting information for the system as a whole, for the current process, and for the terminated child processes of the current process. All the times are 2-word (32-bit) num- bers, and the unit of measurement is 1/60 second. After the call, the buffer will appear as fol- lows: buffer: system: .=.+4 / absolute time .=.+4 / total system time .=.+4 / total swap time .=.+4 / other I/O wait time .=.+4 / idle time .=.+4 / total user time process: .=.+4 / (ignore) .=.+4 / time in system .=.+4 / (ignore) .=.+4 / I/O wait time .=.+4 / (ignore) .=.+4 / processor time child: .=.+24. The format of the "child" times is the same as that for the process times; the numbers are the sum of the times for all terminated direct or in- direct descendants of the current process. The "absolute" time returned is the same as that given by time(II). The "total system times" are times since the last cold boot. FILES -- SEE ALSO time(II), time(I) DIAGNOSTICS -- BUGS --
