runlim: Print the time and memory usage of a command.
$ runlim ${command} ${command_arguments}
try on your machine

The command "runlim" is being used in combination with "${command}" and "${command_arguments}".

"runlim" is a command-line tool used to restrict or limit the resources consumed by a given command. It allows you to specify certain constraints like limits on CPU time, memory usage, file size, or the number of open files. By running a command with runlim, you can control and monitor the resources it utilizes.

"${command}" refers to the actual command that you want to run within the resource limitations imposed by runlim. It can be any valid command that you would typically execute in a command line, such as "ls", "echo", "python", or "gcc".

"${command_arguments}" represents the optional arguments or parameters that you would pass to the "${command}". These arguments modify the behavior of the command or provide specific inputs required by it.

Putting it all together, the "runlim ${command} ${command_arguments}" command executes the specified "${command}" along with its corresponding "${command_arguments}" while enforcing the resource limitations defined by runlim.
