DESCRIPTION

19       The times utility shall write the accumulated user and system times for
20       the  shell  and  for all of its child processes, in the following POSIX
21       locale format:
22
23           "%dm%fs %dm%fs\n%dm%fs %dm%fs\n", <shell user minutes>,
24               <shell user seconds>, <shell system minutes>,
25               <shell system seconds>, <children user minutes>,
26               <children user seconds>, <children system minutes>,
27               <children system seconds>
28
29       The four pairs  of  times  shall  correspond  to  the  members  of  the
30       <sys/times.h>  tms structure (defined in the Base Definitions volume of
31       POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 13, Headers) as returned by  times():  tms_utime,
32       tms_stime, tms_cutime, and tms_cstime, respectively.
