Description

Exercise #2

Create the program 'rusage' that will run a program provided on the command line and then print out the resources used by the process using the system call getrusage(2). Read the man page in section 2 of the online manual for the API information on the getrusage system call.

View the working version to produce the same output.

The timeval structure (documented in the timeradd(3) man page):

  struct timeval {
    time_t      tv_sec;     /* seconds */
    suseconds_t tv_usec;    /* microseconds */
  };

There are 1 million microseconds in a second (i.e. divide the microseconds by 1 million to get the fractional second.)
