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.
