System
- Description
This module embodies common operating system calls, making them available to the Pike programmer.
- Constant
ITIMER_REAL
constant System.ITIMER_REAL
- Description
Identifier for a timer that decrements in real time.
- See also
- Constant
ITIMER_VIRTUAL
constant System.ITIMER_VIRTUAL
- Description
Identifier for a timer that decrements only when the process is executing.
- See also
- Constant
ITIMER_PROF
constant System.ITIMER_PROF
- Description
Identifier for a timer that decrements both when the process is executing and when the system is executing on behalf of the process.

- Constant
string
constant System.string
- Description
This string constant tells whether or not the CPU time, returned by e.g. gethrvtime , is thread local or not. The value is "yes" if it is and "no" if it isn't. The value is also "no" if there is no thread support.

gethrvtime , gauge
- Constant
int
constant System.int
- Description
The resolution of the CPU time, returned by e.g. gethrvtime , in nanoseconds. It is
-1if the resolution isn't known.- See also
gethrvtime , gauge
- Constant
string
constant System.string
- Description
This string constant identifies the internal interface used to get the CPU time. It is an implementation detail - see rusage.c for possible values and their meanings.

string
constant System.string
- Description
This string constant tells whether or not the high resolution real time returned by gethrtime , is monotonic or not. The value is "yes" if it is and "no" if it isn't.
Monotonic time is not affected by clock adjustments that might happen to keep the calendaric clock in synch. It's therefore more suited to measure time intervals in programs.
