.SH SYNOPSIS

.fi
.PP
Link with \fI\-lrt\fP (only for glibc versions before 2.17).

.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
function obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock of the process whose ID is
.IR pid ,
and returns it in the location pointed to by
.IR clockid .
If
.I pid
is zero, then the clock ID of the CPU-time clock
of the calling process is returned.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success,
.BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
returns 0;
on error, it returns one of the positive error numbers listed in ERRORS.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B ENOSYS
The kernel does not support obtaining the per-process
CPU-time clock of another process, and
.I pid
does not specify the calling process.
.TP
.B EPERM
The caller does not have permission to access
the CPU-time clock of the process specified by
.IR pid .
(Specified in POSIX.1-2001;
does not occur on Linux unless the kernel does not support
obtaining the per-process CPU-time clock of another process.)
.TP
.B ESRCH
There is no process with the ID
.IR pid .
.SH VERSIONS
The
.BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
function is available in glibc since version 2.2.

.SH CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
.SH NOTES
Calling
.BR clock_gettime (2)
with the clock ID obtained by a call to
.BR clock_getcpuclockid ()
with a
.I pid
of 0,
is the same as using the clock ID
.BR CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID .
.SH EXAMPLES
The example program below obtains the
CPU-time clock ID of the process whose ID is given on the command line,
and then uses
.BR clock_gettime (2)
to obtain the time on that clock.
An example run is the following:
.PP
.in +4n
.EX
.RB "$" " ./a.out 1" " # Show CPU clock of init process"
CPU\-time clock for PID 1 is 2.213466748 seconds

perror("clock_getcpuclockid");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (clock_gettime(clockid, &ts) == \-1) {
perror("clock_gettime");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("CPU\-time clock for PID %s is %jd.%09ld seconds\en",
argv[1], (intmax_t) ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
