10     The ttiimmee utility executes and times _c_o_m_m_a_n_d by initiating a timer and
11     passing the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d to the shell.  After the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d finishes, ttiimmee
12     writes to the standard error stream, (in seconds): the total time
13     elapsed, time consumed by system overhead, and the time used to execute
14     the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d process.

20     The csh(1) has its own and syntactically different builtin version of
21     ttiimmee.. The command described here is available as /_b_i_n/_t_i_m_e to csh users.

24     The granularity of seconds on micro processors is crude and can result in
25     times being reported for CPU usage which are too large by a second.
