title: Can a bash script access information from a C executable it takes as parameter?
body: <p>To be more concrete, I have a C executable and I want to know in my bash script the execution time of a function from that C. I also want to know if I can find out what is the value of a certain variable from that file .  </p>
  
  <p>PS: I don't want to output on the console the things I need from the C file and then to read that output in the script</p>
