Hello Guys.

I have copied the following from the time man pages

time -f "%E real,%U user,%S sys" ls -Fs

But I am getting
-f: command not found

which OS you are running?
-f is a GNU time option.

time is a bash builtin command. To format its output, use the TIMEFORMAT variable.

If you want to use the external command, give the full path: /usr/bin/time.
