Subject: silence append-to-file?
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 12:36:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871r3lim9i.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello all,
I have a little timer running in Emacs that appends a line to a log
file. I use append-to-file for this. However, every time this gets
invoked, a message gets written to the *Messages* buffer, a message I do
not need and simply adds clutter to that buffer.
Is it possible to silence that function? I've tracked the code down to
fileio.c (in write-region, line 5501) and I cannot see how to do so
(from elisp).
Alternatively, is there a better function to use for this?
thank you,
eric
