MacOS – To install GNU time in OSX

homebrewmacosterminaltime

BSD time gives this kind of output

9990

real    0m4.371s
user    0m1.548s
sys 0m2.167s

GNU time gives then again this kind of output

9990
1.56s user 1.46s system 82% cpu 3.648 total

Brew search gtime gives nothing.
GNU time is probably in some C library, however, I am not sure which.
There is no apparent package for it.

How can you install GNU time in OSX?

The proposed find based solution takes about 5 seconds to execute on my system. The following bash snippet executes in a fraction of a second.

if type brew &>/dev/null; then
  HOMEBREW_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix)
  # gnubin; gnuman
  for d in ${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/opt/*/libexec/gnubin; do export PATH=$d:$PATH; done
  # I actually like that man grep gives the BSD grep man page
  #for d in ${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/opt/*/libexec/gnuman; do export MANPATH=$d:$MANPATH; done
