When I do something like 'time ls' in csh, I get: 1.3u 0.7s 0:11 19% 23+79k 3+0io 2pf+0w The man page for csh documents the fist 4 fields as user time, system time, elapsed time (all in seconds), and utilization (i.e. (u+s)/e). I guess that the next fields are memory usage, io calls, and page faults. What the numbers mean is not described. Could anyone send me a definite description of the last 6 numbers?
