os.times()

os.times()

Returns the current global process times. The return value is an object with five attributes:

• user - user time
• system - system time
• children_user - user time of all child processes
• children_system - system time of all child processes
• elapsed - elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past

For backwards compatibility, this object also behaves like a five-tuple containing user, system, children_user, children_system, and elapsed in that order.

See the Unix manual page times(2) or the corresponding Windows Platform API documentation. On Windows, only user and system are known; the other attributes are zero.

Availability: Unix, Windows.
