DESCRIPTION
The times() function returns time-accounting information for the cur‐
rent process and for the terminated child processes of the current
process. All times are reported in clock ticks. The number of clock
ticks per second is defined by the variable CLK_TCK, found in the
header <limits.h>.
A structure with the following members is returned by times():
time_t tms_utime; /* user time */
time_t tms_stime; /* system time */
time_t tms_cutime; /* user time, children */
time_t tms_cstime; /* system time, children */
The children's times are the sum of the children's process times and
their children's times.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, times() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns
−1.

libraries or in multi-threaded applications is unsupported.
The times() function has been superseded by getrusage(3C).
