`TIME`

Time the execution of one or more commands

Measure how long command lines take, or print the current time.

time: print a high-resolution clock value as <seconds> sec. This is not the date (see date).
time "<command>" …: run each command line in turn and print time{<command>} = <s> sec after each one. With more than one command it also prints time{TOTAL} = <s> sec. It stops at the first command that fails, and returns that command’s result.

Whether it is safe depends on the commands timed.
