PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.


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\n%dm%fs %dm%fs\n", <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.
