[comp.sys.alliant] etime and process forking

xxrich@alliant1.lerc.nasa.gov (Rich Rinehart) (05/31/90)

Could anyone give me an in-depth description of etime's 
user and system time values?  Does a parent process keep
track of it's children's times?

ex:
	get etime values
	 fork processes and do some work
	get etime again

When I compute the total user time here what will it
represent?  And the system time?

thanks for any info.
