Manual page for TIME(1)
time - time a command
SYNOPSIS
time
command
DESCRIPTION
The
given command is executed; after it is complete,
time
prints the elapsed time during the command, the time
spent in the system, and the time spent in execution
of the command.
Times are reported in seconds
and are printed on the diagnostic output stream.
Time
is built in to
csh.1
using a different output format.
BUGS
Elapsed time is accurate to the second,
while the CPU times are measured
to the 100th second.
Thus the sum of the CPU times can be up to a second larger
than the elapsed time.
Time
is a built-in command to
csh.1
with a much different syntax. This command is available as
``/bin/time'' to
csh
users.
