Returns the current global process times.
The return value is an object with five attributes:

* :attr:`user` - user time
* :attr:`system` - system time
* :attr:`children_user` - user time of all child processes
* :attr:`children_system` - system time of all child processes
* :attr:`elapsed` - elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past
* :attr:`!user` - user time
* :attr:`!system` - system time
* :attr:`!children_user` - user time of all child processes
* :attr:`!children_system` - system time of all child processes
* :attr:`!elapsed` - elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past

For backwards compatibility, this object also behaves like a five-tuple
containing :attr:`user`, :attr:`system`, :attr:`children_user`,
:attr:`children_system`, and :attr:`elapsed` in that order.
