<listitem><para><computeroutput>UID</computeroutput> — user ID. A user ID of <computeroutput>0</computeroutput> refers to the root user.</para></listitem>

<para>The time and date in the output of <xref linkend="scriptdisktop"/> is returned by the functions <command>ctime()</command> and <command>gettimeofday_s()</command>. <command>ctime()</command> derives calendar time in terms of seconds passed since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). <command>gettimeofday_s()</command> counts the <emphasis>actual</emphasis> number of seconds since Unix epoch, which gives a fairly accurate human-readable timestamp for the output.</para>

<para>
In this script, the <command>$return</command> is a local variable that stores the
actual number of bytes each process reads or writes from the virtual file system.
<command>$return</command> can only be used in return probes (e.g.
<command>vfs.read.return</command> and <command>vfs.read.return</command>).
