What is the output of a standard MLE program?

The output of a standard MLE program is as follows:

Maximised likelihood value: This is the numerical value obtained by replacing the unknown parameter values in the likelihood function with the MLE parameter estimator.

Estimated variance-covariance matrix: The diagonal of this matrix consists of the estimated variances of the ML estimates. The off-diagonal consists of the covariances of the pairs of the ML estimates
