[gentoo-user] /usr/bin/time is in what package?

[gentoo-user] /usr/bin/time is in what package?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

 in what package can I find /usr/bin/time (not the shell's builtin) ?

 Or, in other more general words: How can I find a package which
 contains a certain installable file?

 Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
 Best regards,
 mcc

In general you can't because, when you think about it, in the Gentoo
world most packages don't contain "installable files".  The files don't
get created until build time, and then the files that are installed
depends variably on USE flags, CFLAGS, architecture, FEATURES, etc. etc.
So the set of installed files created by a package on my system can be
different than the set of files created by the same package on your
system.

But people don't like that answer.  So there is a statistical, though
not always accurate way of finding out:

It's part of /bin/busybox I think so running qfile time will not show it up 
and which time won't get you closer either.

This only works for files already on your system which is ok if thats
what you want.  If like in this case you are trying to locate a binary
thats not installed - how do you find what package its in?

For me its down to googling and seeing what other distros use and map
that back to a gentoo package as far as I can see.

I just got curious when the OP posted this so I tried to do a 'which
time' and equery b time but no go... But still I have the 'time' command
available, so I thought it was a bash builtin command, but it isn't
(acc. to the manual)... It's not an alias either. Busybox does contain
the 'time' command but it doesn't seem like there's a hard link called
'time' anywhere in my path, but still I can run 'time'... I'm confused!
Anyone have a good explanation?

Best regards

$ type -a time
time is a shell keyword
