FUNCTION::CPUTIME_TO(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::CPUTIME_TO(3stap) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the 3stap section of the SystemTap Tapset Reference — this is the one where we turn raw kernel cputime numbers into something your human eyeballs can actually read. no cap. 🕐✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::cputime_to_string — human readable string for given cputime 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cputime_to_string:string(cputime:long)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg in, one string out. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cputime — the time you want translated. yes, literally just "time to translate." the manpage said it, I said it, we're all on the same page here. 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works is, it's equivalent to calling:

msec_to_string (cputime_to_msecs (cputime).

fr fr, that's exactly how it's written in the original — I'm not touching the punctuation, bestie, I keep it character for character. 💀

so like… you hand it a cputime, it hands you back a string that a human can read. iconic behaviour honestly. 😭✨
