============================== F E A T U R E S ==============================

The TimeIt command starts the specified program and after it finishes
the elapsed time is reported.

============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ==========================

TimeIt tested and worked fine on the following configurations:

- IcarOS i386               (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
- AROS One i386             (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)

================================= U S A G E =================================

TimeIt is used to time a command.

    Format: TimeIt [[APPEND] TO logfile] [S|SECONDS] [COMMAND] program

    Template: APPEND/S,TO/K,S=SECONDS/S,COMMAND/F/A

The SECONDS, or S, switch makes TimeIt report the elapsed time in seconds
only, instead of days, hours, minutes and seconds.

The time is displayed on CONSOLE: unless the TO option is used to
specify an output file. The APPEND switch adds the output to the
end of the specified output file.

    For example:

1.AROS:> timeit S COMMAND C:Wait 4
Elapsed: 4.00s

1.AROS:> timeit TO RAM:Wait.log S COMMAND C:Wait 2
1.AROS:> more RAM:Wait.log
Elapsed: 2.01s Command C:Wait 2
