TIME(1) BSD General Commands Manual TIME(1)

NAME
     ttiimmee - time command execution

SYNOPSIS
     ttiimmee [-llpp] utility

DESCRIPTION
     The ttiimmee utility executes and times utility.  After the utility finishes,
     ttiimmee writes the total time elapsed, the time consumed by system overhead,
     and the time used to execute utility to the standard error stream.  Times
     are reported in seconds.

     Available options:

     -ll      The contents of the rusage structure are printed.

     -pp      The output is formatted as specified by IEEE Std 1003.2-1992
             (``POSIX.2'').

     The csh(1) has its own and syntactically different builtin version of
     ttiimmee.  The utility described here is available as /usr/bin/time to csh
     users.

DIAGNOSTICS     The ttiimmee utility shall exit with one of the following values:

     1-125   An error occurred in the ttiimmee utility.

     126     The utility was found but could not be invoked.

     127     The utility could not be found.

     Otherwise, the exit status of ttiimmee shall be that of utility.

STANDARDS
     The ttiimmee utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').

BUGS
     The granularity of seconds on microprocessors is crude and can result in
     times being reported for CPU usage which are too large by a second.
