>Description:
man page states -h can be used to print in 'user friendly' format.  This does not appear to be applicable as time -h <command> gives an error of:

stable# time -h uptime
-h: Command not found.
0.000u 0.000s 0:00.00 0.0%      0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

>How-To-Repeat:
Use the time command with the -h flag.
>Fix:
