pidin time definitions

I’ve read the definitions of utime, stime, cutime, and cstime in the help
pages. I had hoped to find a more detailed description of what the stime and
cstime values returned. What exactly is “on behalf of”, when it is applied
to CPU seconds consumed? Is there any way to find out what process or thread
is consuming CPU seconds “on behalf of” another process or thread?

Thanks,
David Kuechenmeister

I believe that this is time spent in kernel calls.
