>Number: 63608 >Category: bin >Synopsis: Add a -c option to time(1) to display csh output >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Mar 01 11:50:14 PST 2004 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: John Baldwin >Release: >Organization: FreeBSD Project >Environment: >Description: Time(1)'s default output is inferior to the output from csh's time builtin command (less precision, etc.) It would be nice to have a -c switch to time(1) that outputs the default csh format. If one is feeling extra adventurous, one could also add a -f option that takes a format string similar to the csh time variable to use for formatting the output. >How-To-Repeat: Compare '/usr/bin/time echo foo' and 'tcsh -c time echo foo'. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
