From e4507ae84ed04c835b66f77195a0549b72f99c39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 14:37:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Teach run-command to redirect stdout to /dev/null Some run-command callers may wish to just discard any data that is sent to stdout from the child. This is a lot like our existing no_stdin support, we just open /dev/null and duplicate the descriptor into position. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
