pthread_getcpuclockid − retrieve ID of a thread’s CPU time clock
#include
<pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clock_id);
Compile and link with −pthread.
The pthread_getcpuclockid() function returns the clock ID for the CPU time clock of the thread thread.
On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number.
ENOENT |
Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system. | ||
ESRCH |
No thread with the ID thread could be found. |
This function is available in glibc since version 2.2.
POSIX.1-2001.
When thread refers to the calling thread, this function returns an identifier that refers to the same clock manipulated by clock_gettime(2) and clock_settime(2) when given the clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.
The program below creates a thread and then uses clock_gettime(2) to retrieve the total process CPU time, and the per-thread CPU time consumed by the two threads. The following shell session shows an example run:
$ ./a.out
Main thread sleeping
Subthread starting infinite loop
Main thread consuming some CPU time...
Process total CPU time: 1.368
Main thread CPU time: 0.376
Subthread CPU time: 0.992
