NAME

TIME - Print the current and elapsed time to the console

SYNOPSIS

TIM

DESCRIPTION

Prints the current 24-hour time to the console in the format: "Hour:Minutes:Seconds". If TIMe had been called previously, the elapsed time will also be printed.

For example:

    MAIN> time
        07/29/2006 19:11:14
    MAIN> time
        07/29/2006 19:11:18, elapsed since last call: 4 seconds

TIMe can be useful in scripts for benchmarking internal Piglet operations.
