Hello all,

The 'time' command outputs the amount of time used
by a command.  The times refer to the "system" time,
"user" time, and the "real" time.

Would someone expound on the differences in
these 3 times (i.e. "real", "user", and "system").

Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to
read and respond to this request.  And if possible,
would you also cc: a copy to my personal email address.
