[Solved] Where is the gnu time command?

The manpage for the time command mentions a gnu version in /usr/bin/time, which has more options than the built-in shell version does. To use it, just specify the complete path, but I can't seem to find where the gnu time is installed in Arch. Is it missing, or do I need to install another package? Locate time doesn't list anything close, unless it has a different name.

It does not appear to be packaged for Arch, or even actually developed upstream: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/time/

Found it in extra using pkgfile.

So I see... who would have thought it was in a package called "time" !

Arch Linux
