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  IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,  Chapter  13,  Headers) as returned by times():
       tms_utime, tms_stime, tms_cutime, and tms_cstime, respectively.
