Feature Request: suppress all output #118

Open addisonklinke opened 5 years ago

addisonklinke commented 5 years ago

I am looking to entirely suppress output to the console. Based on the documentation, I thought combining flags -dNq would achieve this, but information about retained and deleted files (the [+/-] syntax) is still printed to stdout. Is there a way to avoid this?

Try to redirect the output to /dev/null. To do this write the command as usual and at the end append " > /dev/null". For example you could write something like this: $ fdupes -r ./ > /dev/null
