       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       int getrusage(int _w_h_o, struct rusage *_r___u_s_a_g_e);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _g_e_t_r_u_s_a_g_e() function shall provide measures of the resources used
       by the current process or its terminated and waited-for child
       processes. If the value of the _w_h_o argument is RUSAGE_SELF, information
       shall be returned about resources used by the current process. If the
       value of the _w_h_o argument is RUSAGE_CHILDREN, information shall be
       returned about resources used by the terminated and waited-for children
       of the current process. If the child is never waited for (for example,
       if the parent has SA_NOCLDWAIT set or sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN), the
       resource information for the child process is discarded and not
       included in the resource information provided by _g_e_t_r_u_s_a_g_e().

       The _r___u_s_a_g_e argument is a pointer to an object of type ssttrruucctt rruussaaggee in
       which the returned information is stored.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, _g_e_t_r_u_s_a_g_e() shall return 0; otherwise, -1
       shall be returned and _e_r_r_n_o set to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _g_e_t_r_u_s_a_g_e() function shall fail if:
