PROLOG

NAME

       times -- write process times

SYNOPSIS

       times

DESCRIPTION

       The times utility shall write the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for all of its  child  processes,	in  the  following
       POSIX locale format:

	   "%dm%fs %dm%fs
%dm%fs %dm%fs
", <shell user minutes>,
	       <shell user seconds>, <shell system minutes>,
	       <shell system seconds>, <children user minutes>,
	       <children user seconds>, <children system minutes>,
	       <children system seconds>

       The  four  pairs  of  times  shall  correspond to the members of the <sys/times.h> tms structure (defined in the Base Definitions volume of
       POSIX.1-2008, Chapter 13, Headers) as returned by times(): tms_utime, tms_stime, tms_cutime, and tms_cstime, respectively.
