From b73a4397590df9582dd1c994cac30e55e26b0b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 02:29:37 -0500 Subject: run-command: Support sending stderr to /dev/null Some callers may wish to redirect stderr to /dev/null in some contexts, such as if they are executing a command only to get the exit status and don't want users to see whatever output it may produce as a side-effect of computing that exit status.
