Hi,
The patch to the manual page is still a draft; I know it has formatting
issues; I don't know mdoc(7) enough to write in it. I CCd Ingo so that

What do you think about this function? Would you want to add it to glibc?

v2: Add --silent synonym to --quiet, per GNU gu
I added a few FreeBSD CCs that I found on their tee.c's git blame,
because the freebsd list rejects external mail.
Please have a look at the proposal below, and the discussion that
started on gnu coreutil's list.

Hi,
I sent a patch like this one to glibc a few days ago.
I hope it's good for yo
er to glibc. They are
concerned about adding a new non-standard specifier, but if more C libs
are going to add it at the same time, it may become a thing.
Alex.
