Silencing "unnecessary" messages #352

Closed stdedos closed 6 months ago

stdedos commented 6 months ago

One routine ... dislike I have with grep is:

When I search / without sudo, I get a barrage of

ugrep: warning: cannot read /run/systemd/journal/streams/8:62791: Permission denied

messages. I understand the usefulness, the utility, and the reason for those messages.

... but they mess up my "expectation" that output is only what I am searching for (or nothing).

Can we "somehow" do so that those messages come "after" ugrep is done? or "just" as a summary?

ugrep: warning: cannot read 1347637 files: Permission denied

These messages can be silenced with -s. Also specify --stats to see a report with the number of warnings generated (but not displayed).

Nice, thanks! Very niche no-messages addition 👍
