SYNOPSIS

mapping rusage( void );

DESCRIPTION

This efun collects information gathered via the getrusage() system
call. Read the getrusage() man page for more information on what

systems, only "utime" and "stime" will be available. Times are
reported in milliseconds.

Here is an example usage of rusage():

void
create()
{
mapping info;

info = rusage();
write("user time = " + info["utime"] + "ms\n");
write("system time = " + info["stime"] + "ms\n");
}

The available fields are:

utime, stime, maxrss, ixrss, idrss, isrss, minflt, majflt, nswap,
inblock, oublock, msgsnd, msgrcv, nsignals, nvcsw, nivcsw.
