GetProcessorSystemCycleTime function (sysinfoapi.h)

  • Article

Retrieves the cycle time each processor in the specified processor group spent executing deferred procedure calls (DPCs) and interrupt service routines (ISRs) since the processor became active.

Syntax

BOOL GetProcessorSystemCycleTime(
  [in]      USHORT                                   Group,
  [out]     PSYSTEM_PROCESSOR_CYCLE_TIME_INFORMATION Buffer,
  [in, out] PDWORD                                   ReturnedLength
);

Parameters

[in] Group

The number of the processor group for which to retrieve the cycle time.

[out] Buffer

A pointer to a buffer to receive a SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_CYCLE_TIME_INFORMATION structure for each processor in the group. On output, the DWORD64 CycleTime member of this structure is set to the cycle time for one processor.

[in, out] ReturnedLength

The size of the buffer, in bytes. When the function returns, this parameter contains the number of bytes written to Buffer. If the buffer is too small for the data, the function fails with ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER and sets the ReturnedLength parameter to the required buffer size.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, use GetLastError.

If the error value is ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, the ReturnedLength parameter contains the required buffer size.

Remarks

To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0601 or later. For more information, see Using the Windows Headers.
