+"This program prints the time (ms) needed to calculate a mathematical challenge. It's purpose \n\
+is to be able to use the result to compare the CPU power available on the machine it's being executed \n\
+and under the given circumstances, which can differ for the same machine. For example: \n\
+The printed value will be different when using 2 of 2 cores, when there an another process \n\
+running on one of the cores core, and when no other intense process running. \n\
+ \n\
+The program expects a one argument: a numerical value of the threads to start the calculations on. \n\
+ \n\
+Prints: \n\
+Time to calculate a mathematical challenge in MILLISECONDS. \n\
+ \n\
+Returns: \n\
+0 on success, \n\
+1 on a missing argument, \n\
+2 on an incorrect format of the argument.\n";
