cputime(2) [plan9 man page]

CPUTIME(2)							System Calls Manual							CPUTIME(2)

NAME

       cputime, times - cpu time in this process and children

SYNOPSIS

       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       int    times(long t[4])

       double cputime(void)

DESCRIPTION

       If  t  is  non-null,  times fills it in 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  mil-
       liseconds used by the process so far.

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

WAIT(2) 							System Calls Manual							   WAIT(2)

NAME

       wait - wait for a process to exit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       int wait(Waitmsg *w)

DESCRIPTION

       Wait  causes  a	process to wait for any child process (see fork(2)) to exit.  It returns the pid of a child that has exited and fills in w
       with more information about the child.  W points to a Waitmsg, which has this structure:

	      typedef
	      struct Waitmsg
	      {
		    char pid[12];	  /* of loved one */
		    char time[3*12];	  /* of loved one & descendants */
		    char msg[ERRLEN];
	      } Waitmsg;

       Pid is the child's process id.  The time array contains the time the child and its descendants spent in user code, the time spent in system
       calls, and the child's elapsed real time, all in units of milliseconds.	All integers in a Waitmsg are formatted as right-justified textual
       numbers in 11-byte fields followed by a blank.  Msg contains the message that the child specified in exits(2).  For a normal  exit,  msg[0]
       is zero, otherwise msg is prefixed by the process name, a blank, the process id, and a colon.

       If there are no more children to wait for, wait returns immediately, with return value -1.
