stdout is usually line-buffered (like stdin), so progress messages are not really useful. The GNU utilities take the distinction between normal output and diagnostics seriously enough that ps -b will output a complete usage info along with an error message to stderr (because the option is wrong, and the usage info is part of the error output) while ps --help will output the complete usage info to stdout (since it is the regular output of this option). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
