The paper deals with a measurable extremal control satisfying the Pontryagin maximum principle in the point-to-point time-optimal problem for a class of smooth nonlinear in phase variables and control systems. A notion of a switching function is derived which has under some conditions the property: all switching points of a measurable extremal control are contained in the set of its zeros.
