NAME

time − time a command

SYNOPSIS

time command

DESCRIPTION

The 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. 

The times are printed on standard error. 

NOTES

If the high resolution timing facility is configured into the currently executing kernel, the system time will exclude or include time spent servicing interrupts, depending on what the system timing mode is set to. See hirestmode(2) and CX/UX Programmer’s Guide for more information on the high resolution timing facility.
