I use calls to setitimer and getitimer to measure runtimes of C-Code. These timers provide three different types of runtimes: ITIMER_REAL, ITIMER_VIRTUEL, ITIMER_PROF. I would like to know what's the difference between the last two, and what exactly is measured by this timers. Especially I need to know if swapping and scheduling-operations are included in these timers or not. Can anybody exactly tell me what is measured ? The manual isn't very precise in that point. Thanks in advance ! Please respond to rn@informatik.uni-kiel.dbp.de Rilo Naumann
