CPUTIME(2)                                             CPUTIME(2)

     NAME
          cputime, times - cpu time in this process and children

     SYNOPSIS
          int    times(long t[4])

          double cputime(void)

     DESCRIPTION
          Times fills in the array t with the number of milliseconds
          spent in user code, system calls, child processes in user
          code, and child processes in system calls.  Cputime returns
          the sum of those same times, converted to seconds.  Times
          returns the real time, in milliseconds used by the process
          so far.

          These functions read /dev/cputime, opening that file when
          time is first called.
