Getting the current process creation time in Linux
How do I get the current process creation time using c/c++ on Linux?
When I'm opening the file /proc//stat
The output is just a bunch of numbers. How do I know which one of them is the creation time?

I suggest you look into man 5 proc. On my system, the 22nd entry is the start time.
