    <para>
      The <application>time</application> utility is a program that
      measures many of the CPU resources, such as time and memory, that
      other programs use.  The GNU version can format the output in
      arbitrary ways by using a printf-style format string to include
      various resource measurements.
    </para>
    <para>
      Although the shell has a builtin command providing similar
      functionalities, this utility is reuired by the LSB.
