Landon Curt Noll a31078bbec Remove all RCS @(#) lines and RCS strings
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!?  And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)

Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.

RCS served us well.  But now it is time to move on.   And so we are
switching to git.

Calc releases produce a lot of file changes.  In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
usertime - user CPU time used by the current process
SYNOPSIS
usertime()
TYPES
return nonnegative real
DESCRIPTION
In POSIX based systems, this function will return the CPU seconds
used by the current process while in user mode. Time spent in the
kernel executing system calls is not included.
On non-POSIX based systems, this function will always return 0.
In particular, most MS windows based systems do not have the required
POSIX system call and so this function will always return 0.
EXAMPLE
The result for this example will depend on the speed of the CPU
and precision of the operating CPU time accounting sub-system:
; t = usertime();
; x = ptest(2^4253-1);
; usertime() - t;
1.287804
LIMITS
On non-POSIX based systems, this function always returns 0.
LINK LIBRARY
none
