The output of is written on the standard error. Timex returns an exit status of 1 if it is used incorrectly, if it is unable to fork, or if
it could not exec command . Otherwise, timex returns the exit status of command.

total characters transferred by command and all its children. This option works only if the process accounting soft-
ware is installed.
