I created a code that replaces a directory when updated but gives an error message:
Please try again: mkdir: can not create directory «hello_asm»: The file already exists mkdir: the directory can not be created «/ Home / fyxov / Documents / ASM»: The file already exists
How do I make the terminal not show that info? The program works but, I do not like that I write that at the end
If you want an answer that applies only to the mkdir command, simply add the -p flag to show no errors when the folder exists.
On the other hand, if you want an answer that is applied in a general way to hide error messages, you can make use of the flow redirection, whose syntax is as follows:
[comando] [descriptor]>[archivo_al_que_redirigir]
[descriptor] is a number that represents a data flow. All process in unix has at least three descriptors:
For what you can do, for example:
mkdir carpeta 2> archivo_errores.txt
To execute the mkdir command and, if it issues error messages, not display them in the console but send them to the file called file_errors.txt (Which it is created if it does not exist).
However, it is very likely that you do not want to keep the exit even in a archive. For this purpose there is the special file / dev / null, also known as a null peripheral, which discards all the information sent to it. Already entered into this, you could also redirect the output contents standard so that a command does not issue any message in the following way:
mkdir carpeta 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Which can be abbreviated as:
mkdir carpeta 2&>1 > /dev/null
Where "2 & > 1" means "associates descriptor 2 (standard output) with the descriptor 1 (standard error output) ".
