Hello,

I've been testing the times() function and I can't understand in what
way is the ticking being incremented for system time measurement
(tms_stime). I understand that tms_utime gives the ticking related to
the process and what does tms_stime gives?

E.g.:

In 5 minutes the process gives 10000 ticks, so if the OS supports a
maximum of 32758 process identifiers this gives us a 30% of load.

Is my thinking right or am I missing something else?

Best Regards,
