Description

Measures how long a command runs and how many system resources it uses. It helps developers and administrators compare commands, profile scripts, and understand CPU, memory, and elapsed-time costs.

Results describe the executed command, so avoid running untrusted programs just to measure them. Use repeated tests when comparing performance.
