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.
