40 | .SH NAME |
41 | getrusage \- get resource usage | |
42 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
43 | .B #include <sys/time.h> | |
44 | .br | |
45 | .B #include <sys/resource.h> | |

47 | .BI "int getrusage(int " who ", struct rusage *" usage ); | |
48 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
49 | .PP | |
50 | .BR getrusage () | |
94ce95ef MK |
51 | returns resource usage measures for |
52 | .IR who , | |
53 | which can be one of the following: | |
54 | .TP | |
2914a14d MK |
55 | .B RUSAGE_SELF |
56 | Return resource usage statistics for the calling process, | |
94ce95ef MK |
57 | which is the sum of resources used by all threads in the process. |
58 | .TP | |
2914a14d | 59 | .B RUSAGE_CHILDREN |
94ce95ef MK |
60 | Return resource usage statistics for all children of the |
61 | calling process that have terminated and been waited for. | |
62 | These statistics will include the resources used by grandchildren, | |
63 | and further removed descendants, | |
64 | if all of the intervening descendants waited on their terminated children. | |
65 | .TP | |
66 | .BR RUSAGE_THREAD " (since Linux 2.6.26)" | |
67 | Return resource usage statistics for the calling thread. | |
1205c845 MK |
68 | The |
69 | .B _GNU_SOURCE | |
70 | feature test macro must be defined (before including | |
71 | .I any | |
72 | header file) | |
73 | in order to obtain the definition of this constant from | |
74 | .IR <sys/resource.h> . | |
94ce95ef MK |
75 | .PP |
76 | The resource usages are returned in the structure pointed to by | |
77 | .IR usage , | |
78 | which has the following form: | |

103 | Not all fields are completed; |
104 | unmaintained fields are set to zero by the kernel. | |
105 | (The unmaintained fields are provided for compatibility with other systems, | |
106 | and because they may one day be supported on Linux.) | |

114 | .TP |
115 | .I ru_stime | |
57440a98 MK |

123 | For | |

47297adb | 202 | .SH CONFORMING TO |
c13182ef MK |
203 | SVr4, 4.3BSD. |
204 | POSIX.1-2001 specifies | |
97c1eac8 | 205 | .BR getrusage (), |
33a0ccb2 | 206 | but specifies only the fields |
97c1eac8 MK |
207 | .I ru_utime |
208 | and | |
209 | .IR ru_stime . | |
94ce95ef MK |
210 | |
211 | .B RUSAGE_THREAD | |
212 | is Linux-specific. | |
e3a887db | 213 | .SH NOTES |
dfcc37a6 MK |
214 | Resource usage metrics are preserved across an |
215 | .BR execve (2). | |
216 | ||
e3a887db MK |
217 | Including |
218 | .I <sys/time.h> | |
219 | is not required these days, but increases portability. | |
220 | (Indeed, | |
221 | .I struct timeval | |
222 | is defined in | |
223 | .IR <sys/time.h> .) | |
224 | .PP | |
225 | In Linux kernel versions before 2.6.9, if the disposition of | |
226 | .B SIGCHLD | |
227 | is set to | |
228 | .B SIG_IGN | |
229 | then the resource usages of child processes | |
230 | are automatically included in the value returned by | |
231 | .BR RUSAGE_CHILDREN , | |
97c1eac8 | 232 | although POSIX.1-2001 explicitly prohibits this. |
cfea5132 | 233 | This nonconformance is rectified in Linux 2.6.9 and later. |

243 | .BR getrusage (). | |
244 | For backward compatibility, glibc also provides | |
245 | .BR vtimes (). | |
