R proc.time() output interpretation

In RGui terminal, I just typed

ptm = proc.time()
ptm

The result is like

user  system elapsed 
0.21    0.87   50.32

So, it takes 50.32 seconds? I did nothing. What is the time unit for elapsed ?

Many thanks if someone can help it or forward this to some expert.

The time unit of all these three numbers is second.

elapsed is the time counted from the RGui terminal session starts. So if we type the code again, it can be found the elapsed time will always grow larger, it is accumulative.
