NEST HelpDesk | Command Index | NEST Quick Reference

Name:

    pclocks - returns POSIX clocks for real, user, system time
      Synopsis:  pclocks -> [rclocks uclocks sclocks cuclocks csclocks]

Description:

      Calls the POSIX times() function to obtain real, user,
      and system time clock counts, as well as user and system time clock
      counts for all children.  Real time clocks have arbitrary origin,
      i.e., only differences are meaningful.
      See man times(3) for details.

      Note: results for user and system time may not be reliable if more
      than one thread is used.
