Re: [PATCH v3 (resend)] tee: Add -q, --quiet, --silent option to not write to stdout

This is useful for using tee to just write to a file,
at the end of a pipeline,
without having to redirect to /dev/null

Example:

echo 'foo' | sudo tee -q /etc/foo;

is equivalent to the old (and ugly)

echo 'foo' | sudo tee /etc/foo >/dev/null;

Why don't you just do

echo foo > /etc/foo

or

sudo sh -c 'echo foo > /etc/foo' ?

I don't normally use sudo, so there might be some better way of using it.

Kind regards,
