    TIME(I)                      8/16/73                      TIME(I)

    NAME
         time - time a command

    SYNOPSIS
         time command

    DESCRIPTION
         The  given  command  is executed; after it is complete, time
         prints the elapsed time during the command, the  time  spent
         in  the  system, and the time spent in execution of the com-
         mand.

         The execution time can depend on what  kind  of  memory  the
         program  happens  to  land in; the user time in MOS is often
         half what it is in core.

         The times are printed on the diagnostic output stream.

    BUGS
         Elapsed time is accurate to the second, while the CPU  times
         are  measured  to  the 60th second.  Thus the sum of the CPU
         times can be up to a second larger than the elapsed time.
