How can I redirect the output of the “time” command?

Question

I tried to redirect the output of the time command, but I couldn\'t:

$time ls > filename
real    0m0.000s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Answer 1

you can redirect the time output using,

(time ls) &> file

Because you need to take (time ls) as a single command so you can use braces.
