     (description
-     "The 'time' command runs another program, then displays information
-about the resources used by that program, collected by the system while
-the program was running.  You can select which information is reported
-and the format in which it is shown, or have 'time' save the information
-in a file instead of displaying it on the screen.
-
-The resources that 'time' can report on fall into the general categories
-of time, memory, and I/O and IPC calls.  Some systems do not provide
-much information about program resource use; 'time' reports unavailable
-information as zero values.")
