-T requests timing information in the line printed for each call made. -c requests that those lines never be printed, so -T does not mean anything with -c. The times printed by -T are real (wall clock) time. As the description you quoted says (on Linux), -c collects system time (CPU time in kernel mode) instead.
The purpose of calls like nanosleep is to take arbitrarily long in real time while taking nearly no CPU time at all. So the output you don't like is precisely what one should expect. Patches to the man page source to make it less likely to be misunderstood are always welcome. If you would like some new feature or combination of options to display real time instead of or in addition to CPU time in the -c output, patches for that would be accepted too. Likewise if you want an option to make the -T display show CPU time. Thanks, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
