Subject: messages appear on stderr in batch mode
Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:17:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ak39lvq260.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I never noticed before, but:
emacs -Q --batch --eval '(message "hello")'
prints "hello" on stderr, not stdout. This is a little annoying when
trying to write automated build scripts etc for Emacs, since stderr is
full of noise, and any real errors can be hard to spot.
I guess there is a reason for this, since it is in the manual (and the
man page, no less); but why?
