## What

Displays the execution time of the previously executed command.

To use this, use the PowerShell module, or confirm that you are passing an `execution-time` argument containing the
elapsed milliseconds to the oh-my-posh executable.
The installation guide shows how to include this argument for PowerShell and Zsh.

## Sample Configuration

```json
{
  "type": "executiontime",
  "style": "powerline",
  "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
  "foreground": "#ffffff",
  "background": "#8800dd",
  "template": " <#fefefe>\ufbab</> ",
  "properties": {
    "threshold": 500,
    "style": "austin"
  }
}
```

## Properties

- always_enabled: `boolean` - always show the duration - defaults to `false`
- threshold: `number` - minimum duration (milliseconds) required to enable this segment - defaults to `500`
- style: `enum` - one of the available format options - defaults to `austin`

## Style

Style specifies the format in which the time will be displayed. The table below shows some example times in each option.
