NAME

       pthread_getcpuclockid - retrieve ID of a thread's CPU time clock

LIBRARY

       POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>
       #include <time.h>

       int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clockid);

DESCRIPTION

       The  pthread_getcpuclockid()  function  obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock of the thread
       whose ID is given in thread, and returns it in the location pointed to by clockid.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number.

ERRORS

       ENOENT Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system.

       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.

STANDARDS

       POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY

       glibc 2.2.  POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       When thread refers to the calling thread, this function returns an identifier that  refers
       to  the  same  clock  manipulated  by clock_gettime(2) and clock_settime(2) when given the
       clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLES

       The program below creates a thread and then uses clock_gettime(2) to  retrieve  the  total
       process  CPU time, and the per-thread CPU time consumed by the two threads.  The following
       shell session shows an example run:

           $ ./a.out
           Main thread sleeping
           Subthread starting infinite loop
           Main thread consuming some CPU time...
           Process total CPU time:    1.368
           Main thread CPU time:      0.376
           Subthread CPU time:        0.992
