Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
TIMEFORMAT variable improperly handled
Repeat-By:
$ TIMEFORMAT='test'; time echo aaa
aaa
test
(works OK, but:)
$ TIMEFORMAT='test' time echo aaa
outputs something like this:
aaa
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 200%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+198minor)pagefaults 0swaps
( it seems memory leak or undocumented features of the bash...)
BASH 2.05 said:
$ TIMEFORMAT=1 time echo q
-bash: time: command not found
