Details:
To simulate a grub configuration file creation, I do:
grub-mkconfig -o /dev/null because grub-mkconfig write information messages
AND configuration on standard output so it's only possible to catch
informations without created configuration by creating a real file. By using
/dev/null as configuration output, grub-mkconfig delete the device !
Note: if -o argurment is a directory, grub-mkconfig write the file in the
directory and don't print an error too.
=> grub-mkconfig need to check if the output path is a real file in order to
do not supress special files as character/block devices.
=> grub-mkconfig need to use stderr as output for informationnal messages
