CLOCK_GETCPUCLOCKID(3)     Linux Programmer's Manual    CLOCK_GETCPUCLOCKID(3)

NAME
       clock_getcpuclockid - obtain ID of a process CPU-time clock

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>

       int clock_getcpuclockid(pid_t pid, clockid_t *clock_id);

       Link with -lrt (only for glibc versions before 2.17).

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       clock_getcpuclockid():
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION
       The clock_getcpuclockid() function obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock
       of the process whose ID is pid, and returns it in the location  pointed
       to  by  clock_id.   If  pid  is zero, then the clock ID of the CPU-time
       clock of the calling process is returned.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, clock_getcpuclockid() returns 0; on error, it  returns  one
       of the positive error numbers listed in ERRORS.

ERRORS
       ENOSYS The  kernel  does not support obtaining the per-process CPU-time
              clock of another process, and pid does not specify  the  calling
              process.

       EPERM  The caller does not have permission to access the CPU-time clock
              of the process specified by pid.   (Specified  in  POSIX.1-2001;
              does  not  occur on Linux unless the kernel does not support ob-
              taining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process.)

       ESRCH  There is no process with the ID pid.

VERSIONS
       The clock_getcpuclockid() function is available in glibc since  version
       2.2.

NOTES
       Calling clock_gettime(2) with the  clock  ID  obtained  by  a  call  to
       clock_getcpuclockid()  with  a pid of 0, is the same as using the clock
       ID CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLE
       The example program below obtains the CPU-time clock ID of the  process
       whose  ID  is given on the command line, and then uses clock_gettime(2)
       to obtain the time on that clock.  An example run is the following:

           $ ./a.out 1                 # Show CPU clock of init process
           CPU-time clock for PID 1 is 2.213466748 seconds
