+      The `time' command runs another program, then displays
+      information about the resources used by that program, collected
+      by the system while the program was running.  You can select
+      which information is reported and the format in which it is
+      shown, or have `time' save the information in a file instead of
+      displaying it on the screen.
+
+      The resources that `time' can report on fall into the general
+      categories of time, memory, and I/O and IPC calls.  Some systems
+      do not provide much information about program resource use;
+      `time' reports unavailable information as zero values.
