$ type time
time is a shell keyword


$ time ls
dummy1  dummy2

real    0m0.040s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m0.040s


$ time ls > zzz

real    0m0.040s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m0.040s
// So, 'time' doesn't write to stdin (?!)


$ time ls 2> zzz2
dummy1  dummy2  zzz

real    0m0.040s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m0.030s
// So, 'time' doesn't write to stderr (?!)


Question-1. Where does the 'time' (shell keyword) write?
Question-2. How to redirect output of the 'time' (shell keyword)?
