NAME

       PR_SET_TIMING - set the process timing mode

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/prctl.h>  /* Definition of PR_* constants */
       #include <sys/prctl.h>

       int prctl(PR_SET_TIMING, long mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Set whether to use (normal, traditional) statistical process timing or accurate timestamp-
       based process timing, by passing PR_TIMING_STATISTICAL or PR_TIMING_TIMESTAMP to mode.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, 0 is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is  set  to  indicate  the
       error.

ERRORS

       EINVAL mode is not PR_TIMING_STATISTICAL.

STANDARDS

       Linux.

HISTORY

       Linux 2.6.0.

CAVEATS

       PR_TIMING_TIMESTAMP  is  not currently implemented (attempting to set this mode will yield
       the error EINVAL).
