NAME

times - return elapsed time for self and child processes


SYNOPSIS

times


DESCRIPTION

The times function returns elapsed realtime since some point in the past (such as system startup), user and system times for this process, and user and system times used by child processes. All times are returned in clock ticks.

    ($realtime, $user, $system, $cuser, $csystem) = POSIX::times();

Note: Perl's builtin times function returns four values, measured in seconds.
