OS module in Python provides functions for interacting with the operating system. OS comes under Python’s standard utility modules. This module provides a portable way of using operating system dependent functionality.
os.times() method in Python is used to get the current global process times.
Syntax: os.times()
Parameter: No parameter is required.
Return Type: This method returns a tuple-like object with five named attributes which represents the current global process times. The five attributes are as follows:
- user: It represents the user time.
- system: It represents the system time
- children_user: It represents the user time of all child processes.
- children_system: It represents the system time of all child processes.
- elapsed: It represents the elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past.
Note: On Windows, only user and system attributes are known and other attributes have value 0.
Code: Use of os.times() method to get the current global process times.
# Python program to explain os.times() method # importing os module import os # Get the current global # process times # using os.times() method curr_gp_times = os.times() # Print the current global # process times print(curr_gp_times) |
Output:
posix.times_result(user=0.03, system=0.01, children_user=0.0, children_system=0.0, elapsed=17370844.95)
