Windows tool for measuring command/program execution speed

time

time is a tool for measuring the execution speed of commands on Windows similar to the UNIX time program. It currently supports printing the duration for the execution of a program in a minute:second:millisecond format.

Usage

The general syntax is:

time [options] <args>

<args> can be anything that can be executed as a command from within the environment you're running time from. Output from the <args> command is disabled by default but you can enable it using the [-s | --show-output] flags.

TODO

  • Test cross-compiler compatibility (gcc, clang etc.)
  • Update GIF showcasing latest version
