-with the given arguments.
+run the program
+.I COMMAND
+with any given arguments
+.IR "ARG..." .
When
-.I command
+.I COMMAND
finishes,
.B time
-writes a message to standard output giving timing statistics
-about this program run.
-These statistics consist of (i) the elapsed real time
-between invocation and termination, (ii) the user CPU time
-(the sum of the
-.I tms_utime
-and
-.I tms_cutime
-values in a
-.I "struct tms"
-as returned by
-.BR times (2)),
-and (iii) the system CPU time (the sum of the
-.I tms_stime
-and
-.I tms_cstime
-values in a
-.I "struct tms"
-as returned by
-.BR times (2)).
-.SH OPTION
-.TP
-.B \-p
-When in the POSIX locale, use the precise traditional format
-.br
-.in +5
-"real %f\enuser %f\ensys %f\en"
-.in -5
-.br
-(with numbers in seconds)
-where the number of decimals in the output for %f is unspecified
-but is sufficient to express the clock tick accuracy, and at least one.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-The variables LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_NUMERIC,
-NLSPATH and PATH are used. The last one to search for
-.IR command .
-The remaining ones for the text and formatting of the output.
-.SH "EXIT STATUS"
-If
-.I command
-was invoked, the exit status is that of
-.IR command .
-Otherwise it is 127 if
-.I command
-could not be found, 126 if it could be found but could not be invoked,
-and some other nonzero value (1-125) if something else went wrong.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR times (2),
-.sp 2
-.SH "GNU VERSION"
-Below a description of the GNU 1.7 version of
-.BR time .
-Disregarding the name of the utility, GNU makes it output lots of
-useful information, not only about time used, but also on other
-resources like memory, I/O and IPC calls (where available).
-The output is formatted using a format string that can be specified
-using the \-f option or the TIME environment variable.
-.LP
-The default format string is
-.br
-.in +3
-%Uuser %Ssystem %Eelapsed %PCPU (%Xtext+%Ddata %Mmax)k
-.br
-%Iinputs+%Ooutputs (%Fmajor+%Rminor)pagefaults %Wswaps
-.br
-.in -3
-.LP
-When the \-p option is given the (portable) output format
-.br
-.in +3
-real %e
-.br
-user %U
-.br
-sys %S
-.br
-.in -3
+displays information about resources used by
+.I COMMAND
+(on the standard error output, by default). If
+.I COMMAND
+exits with non\-zero status,
+.B time
+displays a warning message and the exit status.
+
+.B time
+determines which information to display about the resources used by the
+.I COMMAND
+from the string
+.IR FORMAT .
+If no format is specified on the command line, but the
+.B TIME
+environment variable is set, its value is used as the format.
+Otherwise, a default format built into
+.B time
is used.
-.SS "The format string"
-The format is interpreted in the usual printf-like way.
-Ordinary characters are directly copied, tab, newline
-and backslash are escaped using \et, \en and \e\e,
-a percent sign is represented by %%, and otherwise %
-indicates a conversion. The program
+
+Options to
.B time
-will always add a trailing newline itself.
-The conversions follow. All of those used by
-.BR tcsh (1)
-are supported.
-.LP
-.B "Time"
-.TP
-.B %E
-Elapsed real time (in [hours:]minutes:seconds).
-.TP
-.B %e
-(Not in tcsh.) Elapsed real time (in seconds).

-Total number of CPU-seconds that the process spent in kernel mode.
-.TP
-.B %U
-Total number of CPU-seconds that the process spent in user mode.
-.TP
-.B %P
-Percentage of the CPU that this job got, computed as (%U + %S) / %E.
-.LP
-.B "Memory"

+.BI \-o " FILE, " \-\-output= "FILE "
+Write the resource use statistics to
+.I FILE
+instead of to the standard error stream. By default, this overwrites the

+
+.SH "FORMATTING THE OUTPUT"
+The format string
+.I FORMAT
+controls the contents of the
+.B time
+output. The format string can be set using the `\-f' or `\-\-format', `\-v' or
+`\-\-verbose', or `\-p' or `\-\-portability' options. If they are not
+given, but the
+.I TIME
+environment variable is set, its value is used as the format string.
+Otherwise, a built\-in default format is used. The default format is:
+ %Uuser %Ssystem %Eelapsed %PCPU (%Xtext+%Ddata %Mmax)k
+ %Iinputs+%Ooutputs (%Fmajor+%Rminor)pagefaults %Wswaps
+
+The format string usually consists of `resource specifiers'
+interspersed with plain text. A percent sign (`%') in the format
+string causes the following character to be interpreted as a resource
+specifier, which is similar to the formatting characters in the
+.BR printf (3)
+function.
+
+A backslash (`\\') introduces a `backslash escape', which is
+translated into a single printing character upon output. `\\t' outputs
+a tab character, `\\n' outputs a newline, and `\\\\' outputs a backslash.
+A backslash followed by any other character outputs a question mark
+(`?') followed by a backslash, to indicate that an invalid backslash
+escape was given.
+
+Other text in the format string is copied verbatim to the output.
+.B time
+always prints a newline after printing the resource use
+information, so normally format strings do not end with a newline
+character (or `\en').
+
+There are many resource specifications. Not all resources are
+measured by all versions of Unix, so some of the values might be
+reported as zero. Any character following a percent sign that is not
+listed in the table below causes a question mark (`?') to be output,
+followed by that character, to indicate that an invalid resource
+specifier was given.
+
+.\" No blank line between the resource specifiers below so that they
+.\" are more compactly listed.
+.PD 0
+The resource specifiers, which are a superset of those recognized by the
+.BR tcsh (1)
+builtin `time' command, are:
+.RS
+.IP %
+A literal `%'.
+.IP C
+Name and command line arguments of the command being timed.
+.IP D
+Average size of the process's unshared data area, in Kilobytes.
+.IP E
+Elapsed real (wall clock) time used by the process, in [hours:]minutes:seconds.
+.IP F
+Number of major, or I/O\-requiring, page faults that occurred while
+the process was running. These are faults where the page has
+actually migrated out of primary memory.
+.IP I
Number of file system inputs by the process.
-.TP
-.B %O
+.IP K
+Average total (data+stack+text) memory use of the process, in
+Kilobytes.
+.IP M
+Maximum resident set size of the process during its lifetime, in
+Kilobytes.
+.IP O
Number of file system outputs by the process.
-.TP
-.B %r
+.IP P
+Percentage of the CPU that this job got. This is just user +
+system times divided by the total running time. It also prints
+a percentage sign.
+.IP R
+Number of minor, or recoverable, page faults. These are pages
+that are not valid (so they fault) but which have not yet been
+claimed by other virtual pages. Thus the data in the page is
+still valid but the system tables must be updated.
+.IP S
+Total number of CPU\-seconds used by the system on behalf of the
+process (in kernel mode), in seconds.
+.IP U
+Total number of CPU\-seconds that the process used directly (in user
+mode), in seconds.
+.IP W
+Number of times the process was swapped out of main memory.
+.IP X
+Average amount of shared text in the process, in Kilobytes.
+.IP Z
+System's page size, in bytes. This is a per\-system constant, but
+varies between systems.
+.IP c
+Number of times the process was context\-switched involuntarily
+(because the time slice expired).
+.IP e
+Elapsed real (wall clock) time used by the process, in seconds.
+.IP k
+Number of signals delivered to the process.
+.IP p
+Average unshared stack size of the process, in Kilobytes.
+.IP r
Number of socket messages received by the process.
-.TP
-.B %s
+.IP s
Number of socket messages sent by the process.
-.TP
-.B %k
-Number of signals delivered to the process.
-.TP
-.B %C
-(Not in tcsh.) Name and command line arguments of the command being timed.
-.TP
-.B %x
-(Not in tcsh.) Exit status of the command.
-.SH "GNU OPTIONS"
-.TP
-.BI "\-f " FORMAT ", \-\-format=" FORMAT

-Use the portable output format.
-.TP
-.BI "\-o " FILE ", \-\-output=" FILE
-Do not send the results to stderr, but overwrite the specified file.
-.TP
-.B "\-a, \-\-append"
-(Used together with \-o.) Do not overwrite but append.

-.B "\-\-"
-Terminate option list.
-.SH BUGS
-Not all resources are measured by all versions of Unix,
-so some of the values might be reported as zero.
-The present selection was mostly inspired by the data
-provided by 4.2 or 4.3BSD.
-.LP
-GNU time version 1.7 is not yet localized.
-Thus, it does not implement the POSIX requirements.
-.LP
-The environment variable TIME was badly chosen.
-It is not unusual for systems like autoconf or make
-to use environment variables with the name of a utility to override
-the utility to be used. Uses like MORE or TIME for options to programs
-(instead of program path names) tend to lead to difficulties.
-.LP
-It seems unfortunate that \-o overwrites instead of appends.
-(That is, the \-a option should be the default.)
-.LP
-Mail suggestions and bug reports for GNU
+.IP t
+Average resident set size of the process, in Kilobytes.
+.IP w
+Number of times that the program was context\-switched voluntarily,
+for instance while waiting for an I/O operation to complete.
+.IP x
+Exit status of the command.

+.SH EXAMPLES
+To run the command `wc /etc/hosts' and show the default information:
+ time wc /etc/hosts
+
+To run the command `ls \-Fs' and show just the user, system, and total
+time:
+ time \-f "\et%E real,\et%U user,\et%S sys" ls \-Fs
+
+To edit the file BORK and have `time' append the elapsed time and
+number of signals to the file `log', reading the format string from the
+environment variable `TIME':
+ export TIME="\et%E,\et%k" # If using bash or ksh
+ setenv TIME "\et%E,\et%k" # If using csh or tcsh
+ time \-a \-o log emacs bork

+command and not the shell builtin variant. On system where
+.B time
+is installed in
+.IR /usr/bin ,
+the first example would become
+ /usr/bin/time wc /etc/hosts
+
+.SH ACCURACY
+The elapsed time is not collected atomically with the execution of
+the program; as a result, in bizarre circumstances (if the
+.B time
+command gets stopped or swapped out in between when the program being
+timed exits and when
+.B time
+calculates how long it took to run), it
+could be much larger than the actual execution time.
+
+When the running time of a command is very nearly zero, some values
+(e.g., the percentage of CPU used) may be reported as either zero (which
+is wrong) or a question mark.
+
+Most information shown by
+.B time
+is derived from the
+.BR wait3 (2)
+system call. The numbers are only as good as
+those returned by
+.BR wait3 (2).
+On systems that do not have a
+.BR wait3 (2)
+call that returns status information, the
+.BR times (2)
+system call is used instead. However, it provides much less information than
+.BR wait3 (2),
+so on those systems
+.B time
+reports the majority of the resources as zero.
+
+The `%I' and `%O' values are allegedly only `real' input and output
+and do not include those supplied by caching devices. The meaning of
+`real' I/O reported by `%I' and `%O' may be muddled for workstations,
+especially diskless ones.
+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+The
+.B time
+command returns when the program exits, stops, or is terminated by a signal.
+If the program exited normally, the return value of
+.B time
+is the return value of the program it executed and measured. Otherwise, the
+return value is 128 plus the number of the signal which caused the program to
+stop or terminate.
