Fully featured time command on Mac OS X?

Question

On some unix systems I've been used to a time command which many options including ways to format the output (-f) and redirect the output to a file (-o), see for example this man entry of time.

However on OS X it seems that we have a crippled down version that only has two (not so useful) options -lp. (I'm on Snow Leopard if that matters.)

So, how can I get a better time for my system?

Answer 1

You have gtime in the macports, and in homebrew

Answer 2

The Fink project has lots of open source Unix software ported to OS X/Darwin:
