=== *Description* ============================================================
According to the POSIX standards, the timing statistics written by time are
required to be written to stderr whether or not the -p option is specified
on the command line. The current implementation only uses stderr when -p
is specified.
In addition to the output going to the wrong file descriptor note that the
current output without -p is similar to:
$ time ls > 1
real 0m0.01s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m0.00s
$
The current output with -p is similar to:
$ time -p ls > 1
real 0.01
user 0.00
sys 0.00
$
The empty line written before the timing statistics is also a bug.
Note also that the time fields in the output without -p are aligned,
but they are not aligned in the -p output. The standards allow the
output to be aligned in both cases.
