++The <EM>format string</EM> controls the contents of the <CODE>time</CODE> output.
++It consists of <EM>resource specifiers</EM> and <EM>escapes</EM>, interspersed
++with plain text.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++A backslash introduces an <EM>escape</EM>, which is translated
++into a single printing character upon output.  The valid escapes are
++listed below.  An invalid escape is output as a question mark followed
++by a backslash.

++<P>
++

++<DT><CODE>\\</CODE>
++<DD>a literal backslash
++</DL>
++<P>
++
++<CODE>time</CODE> always prints a newline after printing the resource use
++information, so normally format strings do not end with a newline
++character (or `<SAMP>\n</SAMP>').
++</P>
++<P>
++
++A resource specifier consists of a percent sign followed by another
++character.  An invalid resource specifier is output as a question mark
++followed by the invalid character.  Use `<SAMP>%%</SAMP>' to output a literal
++percent sign.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++The resource specifiers, which are a superset of those recognized by the
++<CODE>tcsh</CODE> builtin <CODE>time</CODE> command, are listed below.  Not all
++resources are measured by all versions of Unix, so some of the values
++might be reported as zero (see section <A HREF="time.html#SEC10">1.5 Accuracy</A>).

++The elapsed time is not collected atomically with the execution of the

++command gets stopped or swapped out in between when the program being
++timed exits and when <CODE>time</CODE> 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

++is wrong) or a question mark.

++
++Most information shown by <CODE>time</CODE> is derived from the <CODE>wait3</CODE>
++system call.  The numbers are only as good as those returned by
++<CODE>wait3</CODE>.  Many systems do not measure all of the resources that
++<CODE>time</CODE> can report on; those resources are reported as zero.  The
++systems that measure most or all of the resources are based on 4.2 or
++4.3BSD.  Later BSD releases use different memory management code that
++measures fewer resources.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++On systems that do not have a <CODE>wait3</CODE> call that returns status
++information, the <CODE>times</CODE> system call is used instead.  It provides

++<CODE>time</CODE> runs the program <VAR>command</VAR>, with any given arguments
++<VAR>arg</VAR><small>...</small>.  When <VAR>command</VAR> finishes, <CODE>time</CODE> displays
++information about resources used by <VAR>command</VAR> (on the standard error
++output, by default).  If <VAR>command</VAR> exits with non-zero status or is
++terminated by a signal, <CODE>time</CODE> displays a warning message and the
++exit status or signal number.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++Options to <CODE>time</CODE> must appear on the command line before
++<VAR>command</VAR>.  Anything on the command line after <VAR>command</VAR> is
++passed as arguments to <VAR>command</VAR>.
