times(1)                                                           times(1)

NAME
     times - print accumulated times for processes run from the shell

SYNOPSIS
     times

DESCRIPTION
     The shell built-in times indicates the accumulated time spent by
     processes run from the current shell. Times are reported in minutes
     (m) and seconds (s) and are listed in terms of user time and system
     time.

     User time is the time processes have spent in user mode; system is the
     time processes have spent in system mode.

     To time a specific command you should use the time(1) command.

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed. If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined
     as the null string, it defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is like-
     wise undefined or null, the system acts as if it were not internation-
     alized.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

EXAMPLES
     Finding out the accumulated user and system times of all processes run
     from the current shell:

     $ times
     0m15s 0m24s

     Processes have spent 15 seconds in user mode and 24 seconds in system
     mode.

NOTES
     Some differences in behavior may occur when using times, depending on
     which shell is being used. The possible differences are not described
     specifically.
