Use tq instead of tee: Add -q, --quiet option to not write to stdout

This is useful for using tee to just write to a file,

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

   Isn't this what you want and shorter?:

echo 'foo' | sudo tq /etc/foo

 ls -l /etc/foo

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4 Jan 24 23:17 /etc/foo

 cat tq

#!/bin/bash
command tee "$@" >/dev/null


It would have the advantage of working  with any
coreutils implementation.
