Bug #4581: Documentation for Process.times is outdated
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4581

Author: Andrew Grimm
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Tomoyuki Chikanaga
Category: DOC
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-03-05 trunk 31026) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0] 


=begin
The code sample for Process.times only mentions utime and stime, even though there's cutime and sctime as well. There's also a reference to "page 388", presumably of the first edition of the Pickaxe. Should that be updated or deleted?
