[1mNAME
     [0mtime - time a command

[1mSYNOPSIS
     time [0mcommand

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0mThe given command is executed; after it is complete, _t_i_m_e
     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 times are printed on the diagnostic output stream.

     _T_i_m_e is built in to _c_s_h(1), using a different output format.

[1mBUGS
     [0mElapsed 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.

     _T_i_m_e is a built-in command to _c_s_h(1), with a much different
     syntax.  This command is available as ``/bin/time'' to _c_s_h
     users.
