VMS Help CRTL, times, Description *Conan The Librarian |
For both process and children times, the structure breaks down
the time by user and system time. Since the OpenVMS system does
not differentiate between system and user time, all system times
are returned as 0. Accumulated CPU times are returned in 10-
millisecond units.
Only the accumulated times for child processes running a C main
program or a program that calls VAXC$CRTL_INIT or DECC$CRTL_INIT
are included.
On OpenVMS Version 7.0 and higher systems, the times function
returns the elapsed real time in clock ticks since an arbitrary
reference time in the past (for example, system startup time).
This reference time does not change from one times function call
to another. The return value can overflow the possible range of
type clock_t values. When times fails, it returns a value of -1.
The Compaq C RTL uses system-boot time as its reference time.
