GNU Time

Time runs another program, then displays information about the resources used by that program.

Download

Time can be found on the main GNU ftp server (download Time via HTTPS,  download Time via HTTP or download Time via FTP), and its mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.

Documentation

Documentation for Time can be accessed by running info time or man time, or by looking at /usr/share/doc/time/, or similar directories on your system. A brief summary is available by running env time --help.

Mailing lists

Time has the following mailing lists:

• bug-time for discussing most aspects of Time, including development and enhancement requests, as well as bug reports.

Announcements about Time and most other GNU software are made on the info-gnu mailing list (archives).

Security reports that should not be made immediately public can be sent directly to the maintainer. If there is no response to an urgent issue, you can escalate to the general security mailing list for advice.

Getting involved

Development of Time, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and you can contribute. For information, please read How to help GNU. If you'd like to get involved, it's a good idea to join the discussion mailing list (see above).

Development tools

For development sources, issue trackers, and other information, please see the Time project page at savannah.gnu.org.

Testing

Trying the latest test release (when available) is always appreciated. Test releases can be found on the GNU “alpha” server (HTTPS,  HTTP,  FTP) and its mirrors.

Maintainer

Time is currently maintained by Collin Funk. Please use the mailing lists for contact.
