    CPU usage

    i'm new to c coding and stuff.this code i wrote to calculate the cpu utilization.
    but now i want the cpu utilization of a particular process when i run it based on its pid. suppose a get the pid of particular process from the cmd>tasklist
    now when i use that as input, i should get the cpu utilization.
    getpid() returns the process id but i dont need it.
    someone help me please
    thanks in advance



    here is the code.

    Code:
    #include<time.h>
    #include<unistd.h>
    #include<sys/types.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
    int n;
    for(;;)
    {
    printf("process pid:&#37;d",getpid());
    printf("\n");
    printf("CPU Usage: %3d%%\r",CPUusage());
    printf("\n");
    sleep(500);
    }
    
    return 0;
    
    }
    
    CPUusage()
    {
    clock_t start, end;
    double elapsed;
    double P;
    int i,j,k,m;
    
    start = clock();
    for( i = 0 ; i < 1000 ; i++)
    for( j = 0 ; j < 100 ; j++)
    for( k = 0 ; k < 50 ; k++)
    for(m=0; m < 5;m++);
    end = clock();
    elapsed = (((double) (end - start)) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
    P = elapsed*100;
    return(P);
    }

    Indenting wouldn't hurt, and since it's platform specific browse around MSDN.

    I think you need to use Win32 API. Windows Vista is better in it. MSDN is where you should go.
