Anybody know how to pipe stderr to sed without connecting stderr to stdout (if I need stdout for something else) or using named pipes?Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 11:09:36 +0100 From: Artur Zaprzala <address@hidden>You can use 'sed' to remove the comments you don't want to see.
Yes, I know. But it would be nice to do it with one, built-in option.A problem with having one builtin option is that people disagree about which diagnostics are serious ones.
So forget --quiet option. Another solution.To get rid of "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names " add option --no-absolute-paths to `force' tar to remove leading `/', thus it won't have a reason to display a warning. To get rid of "tar: foo.sock: socket ignored" add option --ignore-sockets (AFAIK unix sockets are the only files that tar won't dump).
