I should have also mentioned, when you don't know what something does
on the command line, you can use the "man" program to see the manual
page about it. Most command-line tools have such documentation:
$ man time
TIME(1) General Commands Manual TIME(1)
NAME
time - run programs and summarize system resource usage
SYNOPSIS
...lots of info...
Cheers!
