struct = getitimer([string])Description
Read one of the process interval timers. The, optional, argument names the timer to be read and is one of the strings,
- "real" - the real time clock
- "virtual" - the virtual clock
- "prof" - the profiling clock
If no argument is given the virtual clock is read.
The result is a struct containing the keys "interval" and "value" each which maps to a second struct containing the actual time values. This time value structs correspond to the system's struct timeval and use the keys "sec" and "usec" to refer to integer seconds and microseconds counts respectively.
