Linux cli command pthread_getcpuclockid

NAME 🖥️ pthread_getcpuclockid 🖥️

retrieve ID of a thread’s CPU time clock

LIBRARY

POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clockid);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_getcpuclockid() function obtains the ID of the CPU-time clock of the thread whose ID is given in thread, and returns it in the location pointed to by clockid.

RETURN VALUE

On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number.

ERRORS

ENOENT
Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system.

ESRCH
No thread with the ID thread could be found.

ATTRIBUTES

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

STANDARDS

POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY

glibc 2.2. POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

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.

EXAMPLES

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
