NAME
clock_getcpuclockid —
access a process CPU-time clock (ADVANCED
REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
int clock_getcpuclockid(pid_t pid, clockid_t *clock_id);
DESCRIPTION
The clock_getcpuclockid () function shall
return the clock ID of the CPU-time clock of the process specified by
pid. If the process described by pid
exists and the calling process has permission, the clock ID of this clock
shall be returned in clock_id.
If pid is zero, the
clock_getcpuclockid () function shall return the
clock ID of the CPU-time clock of the process making the call, in
clock_id.
The conditions under which one process has permission to obtain the CPU-time clock ID of other processes are implementation-defined.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
clock_getcpuclockid () shall return zero; otherwise,
an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The clock_getcpuclockid () function shall
fail if:
- [EPERM]
- The requesting process does not have permission to access the CPU-time clock for the process.
The clock_getcpuclockid () function may
fail if:
- [ESRCH]
- No process can be found corresponding to the process specified by pid .
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The clock_getcpuclockid () function is
part of the Process CPU-Time Clocks option and need not be provided on all
implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
