silent 7za compression

Without doing stdout redirection. Is it possible to have a silent run of 7za?

Thank you

• Looking at the output of 7za --help, I don't think so.

  Is there any particular reason why you don't want to just do 7za a archive.7z files > /dev/null?

  pavium : Not *quite* the same as *quiet* if that's what @romant wanted.

  developmentalinsanity : @pavium True, but since there doesn't seem to be an option to run 7za in quiet mode, it looks like the best option available.

• Maybe you can wrap 7za in a script, so that the place that calls it doesn't need the redirection?
