Returns the current global process times.
The return value is an object with five attributes:
- * :attr:`user` - user time
- * :attr:`system` - system time
- * :attr:`children_user` - user time of all child processes
- * :attr:`children_system` - system time of all child processes
- * :attr:`elapsed` - elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past
+ * :attr:`!user` - user time
+ * :attr:`!system` - system time
+ * :attr:`!children_user` - user time of all child processes
+ * :attr:`!children_system` - system time of all child processes
+ * :attr:`!elapsed` - elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past
For backwards compatibility, this object also behaves like a five-tuple
- containing :attr:`user`, :attr:`system`, :attr:`children_user`,
- :attr:`children_system`, and :attr:`elapsed` in that order.
+ containing :attr:`!user`, :attr:`!system`, :attr:`!children_user`,
+ :attr:`!children_system`, and :attr:`!elapsed` in that order.
