R: System CPU times.

ps_system_cpu_times {ps} | R Documentation

## System CPU times.

### Description

Every attribute represents the seconds the CPU has spent in the given mode. The attributes availability varies depending on the platform:

- `user`: time spent by normal processes executing in user mode; on Linux this also includes guest time.

- `system`: time spent by processes executing in kernel mode.

- `idle`: time spent doing nothing.

### Usage

    ps_system_cpu_times()

### Details

Platform-specific fields:

- `nice` (UNIX): time spent by niced (prioritized) processes executing in user mode; on Linux this also includes guest_nice time.

- `iowait` (Linux): time spent waiting for I/O to complete. This is not accounted in idle time counter.

- `irq` (Linux): time spent for servicing hardware interrupts.

- `softirq` (Linux): time spent for servicing software interrupts.

- `steal` (Linux 2.6.11+): time spent by other operating systems running in a virtualized environment.

- `guest` (Linux 2.6.24+): time spent running a virtual CPU for guest operating systems under the control of the Linux kernel.

- `guest_nice` (Linux 3.2.0+): time spent running a niced guest (virtual CPU for guest operating systems under the control of the Linux kernel).
