The function's doc string also needs to be updated to use the correct field names: "user", "system", "children_user", "children_system", and "elapsed". > And we can also add a link to MSDN. os.times calls GetProcessTimes [1]. The user and kernel process times are incremented in clock ticks, i.e. in integer multiples of the system clock interrupt time. QueryUnbiasedInterruptTime [2] could thus be used for the value of `elapsed`. (Windows doesn't implement a process tree for the children_user and children_system values. It has jobs, which are similar to Linux control groups, but jobs aren't applicable here. POSIX doesn't have anything like Windows jobs or Linux cgroups.)
