  49 .SH DESCRIPTION
  50 The
  51 .BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
  52 function obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock of the process whose ID is
  53 .IR pid ,
  54 and returns it in the location pointed to by
  55 .IR clock_id .
  56 If
  57 .I pid
  58 is zero, then the clock ID of the CPU-time clock
  59 of the calling process is returned.
  60 .SH RETURN VALUE
  61 On success,
  62 .BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
  63 returns 0;
  64 on error, it returns one of the positive error numbers listed in ERRORS.
  65 .SH ERRORS
  66 .TP
  67 .B ENOSYS
  68 The kernel does not support obtaining the per-process
  69 CPU-time clock of another process, and
  70 .I pid
  71 does not specify the calling process.
  72 .TP
  73 .B EPERM
  74 The caller does not have permission to access
  75 the CPU-time clock of the process specified by
  76 .IR pid .
  77 (Specified in POSIX.1-2001;
  78 does not occur on Linux unless the kernel does not support
  79 obtaining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process.)
  80 .TP
  81 .B ESRCH
  82 There is no process with the ID
  83 .IR pid .
  84 .SH VERSIONS
  85 The
  86 .BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
  87 function is available in glibc since version 2.2.

 102 .SH NOTES
 103 Calling
 104 .BR clock_gettime (2)
 105 with the clock ID obtained by a call to
 106 .BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
 107 with a
 108 .I pid
 109 of 0,
 110 is the same as using the clock ID
 111 .BR CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID .
 112 .SH EXAMPLE
 113 The example program below obtains the
 114 CPU-time clock ID of the process whose ID is given on the command line,
 115 and then uses
 116 .BR clock_gettime (2)
 117 to obtain the time on that clock.
 118 An example run is the following:
 119 .in +4n
 120 .nf
 121
 122 .RB "$" " ./a.out 1" "                 # Show CPU clock of init process"
 123 CPU-time clock for PID 1 is 2.213466748 seconds
