What do the last two items in 'identify' output mean?

Here is an example of identify's basic output, from the ImageMagic website:

Code: Select all

-> identify rose.jpg
rose.jpg JPEG 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit sRGB 2.36KB 0.000u 0:00.000
What do the "0.000u" and "0:00.000" represent?

They indicate the time(s) in seconds (u for 'user time', the other for total elapsed time) required to run the `identify` command...

Having said that, I do not think this is a very useful addition to the output of the very scarce content of a simply `identify`. It would probably be better to get rid of it altogether (and maybe add it to just keep it with the output of `identify -verbose`).

Thanks, that helps! Now I see it labelled as such, way down near the bottom of the `-verbose` output:

Code: Select all

User time: 0.000u
Elapsed time: 0:01.000
