C 4 times - get process times

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

 times(buffer)  struct tms *buffer; 

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 either 50 or 60 depending on your locality.

This is the structure returned by times :

.so  /usr/include/sys/times.h

The children times are the sum of the children's process times and their children's times. time(1), time(2), vtimes(2) (times = 43.)

sys times; buffer
