Can we have a -qqq option please ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One that would prevent all standard and error messages&lt;br /&gt;
from being returned, so that we can make better use of&lt;br /&gt;
the (many) return codes that unzip provides. This would&lt;br /&gt;
really help those of us who like to script utilities&lt;br /&gt;
which use unzip.&lt;br /&gt;
What I'm looking for is not 'quiet' operation, but silent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't want to see output at all, especially errors&lt;br /&gt;
when I can check the return code to see if there was a&lt;br /&gt;
problem, and deal with it silently. This is what return&lt;br /&gt;
codes are for, no ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As it stands, I can't even redirect standard error&lt;br /&gt;
because it seems unzip doesn't output error messages&lt;br /&gt;
that way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My otherwise quiet script output is riddled with errors&lt;br /&gt;
like :&lt;br /&gt;
error:  invalid compressed data to inflate data.bin&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
file #2:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig): &lt;br /&gt;
2448062&lt;br /&gt;
and the four line explanation starting &lt;br /&gt;
End-of-central-directory signature not found.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Might this be a useful feature to others ?&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully,&lt;br /&gt;
Tom Matthews&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry></feed>
