I am new to programming on OS X (an Intel box in this case), although not new to programming in general. In the following code fragment (error handling removed for clarity): the values for user_time and system_time that are returned are always zero (with and without -m64), and not the amount of time used by the spawned process and its children. The intent ultimately is to obtain this information for any specified pid (running as root). What have I done wrong here? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
