TIME(1) TIME(1)
NAME
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 com-
mand. Times are reported in seconds.
The execution time can depend on what kind of memory the
program happens to land in; the user time in MOS is often
half what it is in core.
The times are printed on the diagnostic output stream.
BUGS
Elapsed time is accurate to the second, while the CPU times
are measured to the 60th second. Thus the sum of the CPU
times can be up to a second larger than the elapsed time.
