Introduction to Time
The time utility is a program that measures many of the CPU resources, such as time and memory, that other programs use. The GNU version can format the output in arbitrary ways by using a printf-style format string to include various resource measurements.
Although the shell has a builtin command providing similar functionalities, this utility is required by the LSB.
