time -- time command execution

The time(1) utility executes and times utility. After the utility finishes, time 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.

% time sleep 1
        1.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys      
% time who
root     console  Jun 23 15:30
john     ttyp0    Jun 23 15:31  (192.168.0.200)
        0.01 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys

Some shells, such as csh(1) and ksh(1), have their own and syntactically different builtin version of time. The utility described here is available as /usr/bin/time to users of these shells
