If t is non-null, times fills it in with the number of milliseconds spent in user code, system calls, child processes in user code, and child processes in system calls. No cap, that’s the whole lil’ buffet 🍓.

cputime returns the sum of those same times, converted to seconds. slay, math is mathing.

times returns the elapsed real time, in milliseconds, that the process has been running. That’s the vibe check on how long it’s been out here 🦋.
