Runs on:

QNX OS

Options:

-p: Output in POSIX format.
-v: Be verbose.
command: The command for which the execution time is to be reported.

Description:

The time utility runs the command line to report the real (clock on the wall), user (CPU time used by the command's code) and system time (CPU time used by the OS on behalf of the command) elapsed in seconds.

This utility is provided as part of the toybox package. For information on how to enable it, see toybox.
