Examples

Example #1 getrusage example

<?php
$dat = getrusage();
echo $dat["ru_oublock"];       // number of block output operations
echo $dat["ru_inblock"];       // number of block input operations
echo $dat["ru_msgsnd"];        // number of IPC messages sent
echo $dat["ru_msgrcv"];        // number of IPC messages received
echo $dat["ru_maxrss"];        // maximum resident set size
echo $dat["ru_ixrss"];         // integral shared memory size
echo $dat["ru_idrss"];         // integral unshared data size
echo $dat["ru_minflt"];        // number of page reclaims (soft page faults)
echo $dat["ru_majflt"];        // number of page faults (hard page faults)
echo $dat["ru_nsignals"];      // number of signals received
echo $dat["ru_nvcsw"];         // number of voluntary context switches
echo $dat["ru_nivcsw"];        // number of involuntary context switches
echo $dat["ru_nswap"];         // number of swaps
echo $dat["ru_utime.tv_usec"]; // user time used (microseconds)
echo $dat["ru_utime.tv_sec"];  // user time used (seconds)
echo $dat["ru_stime.tv_usec"]; // system time used (microseconds)
echo $dat["ru_stime.tv_sec"];  // system time used (seconds)
?>

Notes

Note:

On Windows getrusage will only return the following members:

  • "ru_stime.tv_sec"
  • "ru_stime.tv_usec"
  • "ru_utime.tv_sec"
  • "ru_utime.tv_usec"
  • "ru_majflt" (only if mode is RUSAGE_SELF)
  • "ru_maxrss" (only if mode is RUSAGE_SELF)

If getrusage is called with mode set to 1 (RUSAGE_CHILDREN), then resource usage for threads are collected (meaning that internally the function is called with RUSAGE_THREAD).

Note:

on BeOS 2000, only the following members are returned:

  • "ru_stime.tv_sec"
  • "ru_stime.tv_usec"
  • "ru_utime.tv_sec"
  • "ru_utime.tv_usec"
