NAME

       clock_getcpuclockid - obtain ID of a process CPU-time clock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       int clock_getcpuclockid(pid_t pid, clockid_t *clock_id);

       Link with -lrt (only for glibc versions before 2.17).

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       clock_getcpuclockid():
           _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION

       The  clock_getcpuclockid()  function obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock of the process whose ID is pid,
       and returns it in the location pointed to by clock_id.  If pid is zero, then the clock ID of the CPU-time
       clock of the calling process is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  clock_getcpuclockid()  returns  0;  on  error, it returns one of the positive error numbers
       listed in ERRORS.

ERRORS

       ENOSYS The kernel does not support obtaining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process,  and  pid
              does not specify the calling process.

       EPERM  The  caller does not have permission to access the CPU-time clock of the process specified by pid.
              (Specified as an optional error in POSIX.1-2001; does not occur on Linux unless  the  kernel  does
              not support obtaining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process.)

       ESRCH  There is no process with the ID pid.

VERSIONS

       The clock_getcpuclockid() function is available in glibc since version 2.2.

ATTRIBUTES

   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The clock_getcpuclockid() function is thread-safe.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       Calling  clock_gettime(2)  with the clock ID obtained by a call to clock_getcpuclockid() with a pid of 0,
       is the same as using the clock ID CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLE

       The example program below obtains the CPU-time clock ID of the process whose ID is given on  the  command
       line, and then uses clock_gettime(2) to obtain the time on that clock.  An example run is the following:

           $ ./a.out 1                 # Show CPU clock of init process
           CPU-time clock for PID 1 is 2.213466748 seconds

       #include <stdio.h>

       int
       main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
           clockid_t clockid;
           struct timespec ts;

           if (argc != 2) {
               fprintf(stderr, "%s <process-ID>\n", argv[0]);
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           if (clock_getcpuclockid(atoi(argv[1]), &clockid) != 0) {
            perror("clock_getcpuclockid");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           if (clock_gettime(clockid, &ts) == -1) {
            perror("clock_gettime");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           printf("CPU-time clock for PID %s is %ld.%09ld seconds\n",
                argv[1], (long) ts.tv_sec, (long) ts.tv_nsec);
           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
