ETIME(3F)               COMMAND REFERENCE               ETIME(3F)



NAME
     etime, dtime - return elapsed execution time

SYNOPSIS
     call etime (tarray)
     function etime (tarray)
     real tarray

     call dtime (tarray)
     function dtime (tarray)
     real tarray

DESCRIPTION
     These two routines return elapsed runtime in seconds for the
     calling process.

     Dtime returns the elapsed time since the last call to dtime,
     or the start of execution on the first call.  On return from
     this routine the two-element time array (tarray) receives
     the user time and system elapsed time since the last call to
     dtime, or since the start of execution.  The user time is
     returned in the first element and system time in the second
     element.

     Etime returns the total elapsed execution time in seconds
     for the calling process.  The two-element time array,
     tarray, receives the user time and system elapsed time since
     the start of execution.

     The time array tarray must always be given.  When called as
     a function, dtime or etime returns the sum of user and
     system times.

     The resolution of all timing is 1/Hz second where Hz is
     currently 60.
