A year or two ago, David Brown ({zehntel,amd,fortune,resonex}!varian!david)
posted a manual page for the csh "time" command. The man page was actually
written by Mark Wittenberg ({zehntel,varian}!rtech!mark).
Among the neat, undocumented stuff in it was the fact that you can change the
output format of the "time" command by setting a shell variable named "time".
For instance, here's a setting I like to use:
set time=(0 "user=%U sec, system=%S sec, elapsed=%E min, cpu use=%P, %W swaps,\
%I disk reads, %O disk writes. Data+stack+text pages: %K avg., %M max.")
The man page was written for 4.1bsd csh; I don't know if it much has changed
for 4.[23]bsd. If anyone wants a copy of the man page, let me know.
If I get enough requests, I'll post it to net.sources.
