NAME

6       pthread_getcpuclockid - retrieve ID of a thread's CPU time clock
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <pthread.h>
10       #include <time.h>
11
12       int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clock_id);
13
14       Compile and link with -pthread.
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The  pthread_getcpuclockid()  function returns the clock ID for the CPU
18       time clock of the thread thread.
19

RETURN VALUE

21       On success, this function returns 0; on error,  it  returns  a  nonzero
22       error number.
23

ERRORS

25       ENOENT Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system.
26
27       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.
28

VERSIONS

30       This function is available in glibc since version 2.2.
31

CONFORMING TO

33       POSIX.1-2001.
34

NOTES

36       When  thread  refers  to  the  calling thread, this function returns an
37       identifier that refers to the  same  clock  manipulated  by  clock_get‐
38       time(2)    and    clock_settime(2)    when    given    the   clock   ID
39       CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.

EXAMPLE

42       The program below creates a thread and then  uses  clock_gettime(2)  to
43       retrieve  the  total process CPU time, and the per-thread CPU time con‐
44       sumed by the two threads.  The following shell session shows an example
45       run:
46           $ ./a.out
47           Main thread sleeping
48           Subthread starting infinite loop
49           Main thread consuming some CPU time...
50           Process total CPU time:    1.368
51           Main thread CPU time:      0.376
52           Subthread CPU time:        0.992
