"\echo" has "\qecho" - I'm basically looking for a "\qprint"
"\write" doesn't apply The following doesn't work either... #bash (stock Ubuntu 14.04) psql --set=query_in_var='SELECT version();' > /dev/null <<'SQL' \o /tmp/psql-test.txt \set ECHO queries --still ends up on stdout, hence the redirect to /dev/null to avoid it showing on screen along with the cat output below :query_in_var \o SQL cat /tmp/psql-test.txt Can anyone offer a reason not to add "\qprint"?
