 >      elapsed, the time used to execute the command process and the time con-
 >      sumed by system overhead.

 >      Available options:
 > 
 >      -a      If the -o flag is used, append to the specified file rather than
 >              overwriting it.  Otherwise, this option has no effect.
 > 
 >      -h      Print times in a human friendly format.  Times are printed in
 >              minutes, hours, etc. as appropiate.
 > 
 >      -l      The contents of the rusage structure are printed as well.
