Description Rigo 2002-08-26 11:18:47 UTC

*  sys-apps/time
      Latest version Available: 1.7-r1
      Latest version Installed: 1.7-r1
      Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/directory/time.html
      Description: A command that displays info about resources used by a   
      program

Just a little thing I noticed; when I do:

# time
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `time'
# cd /usr/bin
# ./time
Usage: ./time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append] [--verbose]
       [--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version]
       [--help] command [arg...]

lappy bin # time echo hello
hello

real
0m0.000s
user
0m0.000s
sys
0m0.000s
# ./time echo hello
hello

Is there something I miss or am I needin' sleep again ?

Comment 1 Maurizio Disimino 2002-08-26 11:41:22 UTC

time is a bash-builtin
/usr/bin/time is a GNU enhanced time version.

Comment 2 Rigo 2002-08-26 11:47:10 UTC

So

# time
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `time'


Is normal ?

(So...it's...needin' sleep ;)
