That's after the fact. Programs which want to get the information
while running can use the CPU clocks:
struct timespec ts;
if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &ts) != 0)
fatal("cannot get CPU time");
/* result is in TS */
It's also possible to get a thread's CPU consumption. Use
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID in that case.
All this works as it should ever since Roland's clock patches landed,
in early 2.6 kernels. Before that the time returned did not discount
the time the process wasn't scheduled.
