<dl compact="compact">
<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>ETIME(VALUES, TIME)</code> returns the number of seconds of runtime
since the start of the process&rsquo;s execution in <var>TIME</var>. <var>VALUES</var>
returns the user and system components of this time in <code>VALUES(1)</code> and
<code>VALUES(2)</code> respectively. <var>TIME</var> is equal to <code>VALUES(1) + VALUES(2)</code>.
</p>
<p>On some systems, the underlying timings are represented using types with
sufficiently small limits that overflows (wrap around) are possible, such as
32-bit types. Therefore, the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or
become, negative, or numerically less than previous values, during a single
run of the compiled program.
</p>
<p>This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
only one form can be used in any given program unit.
</p>
<p><var>VALUES</var> and <var>TIME</var> are <code>INTENT(OUT)</code> and provide the following:
</p>

<tr><td width="15%"></td><td width="30%"><code>VALUES(1)</code>:</td><td width="60%">User time in seconds.</td></tr>

<tr><td width="15%"></td><td width="30%"><code>TIME</code>:</td><td width="60%">Run time since start in seconds.</td></tr>
