posix_times

Name

posix_times — Get process time information in an array (POSIX.1, 4.5.2)

Synopsis

array posix_times(void)

Returns

An array of process time accounting information, or FALSE on error.

Description

This function returns process and child process time accounting information in an associative array. All times given are in clock ticks. Depending on the system, there may be 50, 60, 100, or even 1 million on SRV4. The members of the returned array are:

ticks: The number of clock ticks since the system since the system booted.
utime: Amount of user time used by the current process.
stime: Amount of system time used by the current process.
cutime: Amount of user time used by the current process and its children.
cstime: Amount of system time used by the current process and its children.

Note that when PHP is running as a web server module or CGI process, all of the above values are likely to be very low, since the PHP process is usually very short-lived in such situations.

Version

PHP 3.0.13+, PHP 4.0b4+

Example

Example 1090. Getting time accounting information

if (!$times = posix_times()) {
    echo "Could not get time accounting information.\n";
} else {
    print_r($times);
}
