Description Adam Stokes 2008-11-03 13:38:01 UTC
Description of problem:
Manual page of time(1) incorrectly states that timing statistics
is written to standard output.  In fact, it is written to standard
error.

[...]
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
gettimeofday({1225273001, 762486}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
write(2, "0.00", 40.00)                     = 4
write(2, "u", 1u)                        = 1
write(2, "s", 1s)                        = 1
write(2, "e", 1e)                        = 1
write(2, "r", 1r)                        = 1
write(2, " ", 1 )                        = 1
