title: Increase %e precision with /usr/bin/time shell command (Linux)
body: <p>When I run the time command in shell <code>time ./myapp</code> I get an output like the following:
  <p></p>
  
  <p>real    0m0.668s<p>
  user    0m0.112s<p>
  sys 0m0.028s<p></p>
  
  <p>However,when I run the command <code>\time -f %e ./myapp</code> I lose precision and I get:<p>
  2.01s</p>
  
  <p>Why is the output not with 3 digits of precision as well? If I use the %E command I also lose precision in the same way. How do i change it to have more precision again, but still only have the seconds being outputted?</p>
  
  <p>I based my research in this <a href="http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_time.htm" rel="nofollow">
  Linux / Unix Command: time </a></p>
