Manual page for RUSAGE(8)

rusage - print resource usage for a command

SYNOPSIS

rusage command

DESCRIPTION

The rusage command is similar to time.1v It runs the given command, which must be specified; that is, command is not optional as it is in the C shell's timing facility. When the command is complete, rusage displays the real (wall clock), the system CPU, and the user CPU times which elapsed during execution of the command, plus other fields in the rusage structure, all on one long line. Times are reported in seconds and hundredths of a second.

EXAMPLE

The example below shows the format of rusage output.

example% rusage wc /usr/man/man1/csh (1)
3045   13423   78071 /usr/man/man1/csh (1)
2.26 real 0.80 user 0.36 sys 11 pf 38 pr 0 sw 11 rb 0 wb 16 vcx 37 icx 24 mx 0 ix 1230 id 9 is
example%

Each of the fields identified corresponds to an element of the rusage structure, as described in getrusage.2 as follows:

real                elapsed real time
user   ru_utime     user time used
sys    ru_stime     system time used
pf     ru_majflt    page faults requiring physical I/O
pr     ru_minflt    page faults not requiring physical I/O
sw     ru_nswap     swaps
rb     ru_inblock   block input operations
wb     ru_oublock   block output operations
vcx    ru_nvcsw     voluntary context switches
icx    ru_nivcsw    involuntary context switches
mx     ru_maxrss    maximum resident set size
ix     ru_ixrss     currently 0
id     ru_idrss     integral resident set size
