- .SH NAME
- getrusage
- \(em get information about resource utilization
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <sys/resource.h>
- .P
- int getrusage(int \fIwho\fP, struct rusage *\fIr_usage\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIgetrusage\fR()
- function shall provide measures of the resources used by the current
- process or its terminated and waited-for child processes. If the value
- of the
- .IR who
- argument is RUSAGE_SELF, information shall be returned about resources
- used by the current process. If the value of the
- .IR who
- argument is RUSAGE_CHILDREN,
- information shall be returned about resources used by the terminated and
- waited-for children of the current process. If the child is never
- waited for (for example, if the parent has SA_NOCLDWAIT set or sets
- SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN), the resource
- information for the child process is discarded and not included in the
- resource information provided by
- \fIgetrusage\fR().
- .P
- The
- .IR r_usage
- argument is a pointer to an object of type
- .BR "struct rusage"
- in which the returned information is stored.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fIgetrusage\fR()
- shall return 0; otherwise, \-1 shall be returned and
- .IR errno
- set to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIgetrusage\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The value of the
- .IR who
- argument is not valid.
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- .SS "Using getrusage(\|)"

- The following example returns information about the resources used by
- the current process.
