change the output format for time command

If you are doing some scripting and using ‘time’ command, then you know sometimes it becomes difficult to capture the output as the output would be something like this:

: amit ; time ls

real    0m0.002s
user    0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s

So, it is better to change that format. Here is simple example:

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      &nbsp;
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

TIMEFORMAT=’real %3R user %3U sys %3S pcpu %P’ time ls

amit ;  TIMEFORMAT=’real %3R user %3U sys %3S pcpu %P’ time ls

0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 0%CPU (0text+0data 2432max)

0inputs+0outputs (0major+109minor)pagefaults 0swaps

amit ; TIMEFORMAT=’real %3R user %3U sys %3S’

amit ; time ls
real 0.001 user 0.001 sys 0.000

amit ;

amit ; TIMEFORMAT=’TIMEOUTPUT = real %3R user %3U sys %3S’

amit ; time ls
TIMEOUTPUT = real 0.001 user 0.001 sys 0.000

amit ;
