Question

Suppose that a program runs for a while, then prints "Hit any key to continue," waits for a key to be pressed, and then prints the results and terminates. Which of the following three numbers output by the Unix/Linux/Posix time command would be most affected by the user of that program taking a while to figure-out that there is no "any" key and thus not pressing any key until 5 minutes later, after discussing this with an IT support person?

Group of answer choices
a) User time
b) Real time
c) System time
Expert Solution
Step 1

Real time - It is basically the actual time taken that is it is difference between the start and stop of call.

It is actual wall clock time.

User time- Amount of CPU time for Processing purpose.

System time - Amount of CPU time for Operating System Services.

Here It waits for an Input and their is no any key.

Here service is not provided for 5 minutes so System time is incorrect answer.

Now we are left with option a and b

option a is incorrect as processing can take place only after input is received(Here it is idle).

So Answer is

b) Real time
