Does gmx energy command "Total Energy" include bias potential when I use the pull code?

GROMACS modification: No
Hopefully this is a simple question. I am running my own free energy analysis from simulations run with the pull code. I need to know if the following command returns the system total energy with or without the bias potential from the pull code:

echo "Total-Energy" | gmx energy -f my_pull_simulation.edr -o my_pull_simulation_energy.xvg

I would appreciate any insight here - thanks!

The potential energy includes the all potentials, also the pull bias potential (you can check by adding up the numbers).
