++The <EM>format string</EM> controls the contents of the <CODE>time</CODE> output.
++It consists of <EM>resource specifiers</EM> and <EM>escapes</EM>, interspersed
++with plain text.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++A backslash introduces an <EM>escape</EM>, which is translated
++into a single printing character upon output. The valid escapes are
++listed below. An invalid escape is output as a question mark followed
++by a backslash.

++<DD>a tab character

++<P>
++
++</P>
++<DT><CODE>\\</CODE>
++<DD>a literal backslash
++</DL>
++<P>
++
++<CODE>time</CODE> always prints a newline after printing the resource use
++information, so normally format strings do not end with a newline
++character (or `<SAMP>\n</SAMP>').
++</P>
++<P>
++
++A resource specifier consists of a percent sign followed by another
++character. An invalid resource specifier is output as a question mark
++followed by the invalid character. Use `<SAMP>%%</SAMP>' to output a literal
++percent sign.
++</P>
++<P>
++
++The resource specifiers, which are a superset of those recognized by the
++<CODE>tcsh</CODE> builtin <CODE>time</CODE> command, are listed below. Not all
++resources are measured by all versions of Unix, so some of the values
++might be reported as zero (see section <A HREF="time.html#SEC10">1.5 Accuracy</A>).
