times
=====

Syntax
------

     #include <sys/times.h>
     
     clock_t times(struct tms *buf);

Description
-----------

This function returns the number of clock ticks used by the current
process and all of its children until the moment of call.  The number
of tics per second is `CLOCKS_PER_SEC', defined on time.h.

This is the structure in which `times' returns its info:

     struct  tms {
       clock_t tms_cstime;
       clock_t tms_cutime;
       clock_t tms_stime;
       clock_t tms_utime;
     };

Currently, the elapsed time of the running program is returned in the
`tms_utime' field, and all other fields return as zero.

Return Value
------------

The number of elapsed tics since the program started.

Example
-------

     printf("We used %d seconds of elapsed time\n", times(&buf)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
