                      8: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      9: The
                     10: given command is executed; after it is complete,
                     11: .I time
                     12: prints the elapsed time during the command, the time
                     13: spent in the system, and the time spent in execution
                     14: of the command.
                     15: Times are reported in seconds.
                     16: .PP
                     17: The times are printed on the diagnostic output stream.
                     18: .PP
                     19: .I Time
                     20: is built in to
                     21: .IR csh (1),
                     22: using a different output format.
                     23: .SH BUGS
                     24: Elapsed time is accurate to the second,
                     25: while the CPU times are measured
                     26: to the 100th second.
                     27: Thus the sum of the CPU times can be up to a second larger
                     28: than the elapsed time.
                     29: .PP
