Hello, everyone:

My first question is about saving outputs from the timing command
"time" into a file. I tried "time a.out > a.time", but it did not
work. How to capture the outputs into a file?

My second related question is about the meanings of the outputs
from the command "time". I guess "real time" is real time, but what
is "user time"? What is "system time"? Our local man page does not
provide me with a satisfactory answer.

Thanks for your great help!
