                OS Name, Version, Hardware platform:

uname -a

Linux ahmu-iop-devel 3.10.76 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 8 11:18:12 EDT 2016 ppc GNU/Linux




Using 'openssl' in a Linux design and since it is a command line application it is always outputting content to the screen, for example:


openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365 -subj "/C=US/ST=Ohio/L=Cincinnati/O=www.ge.com/OU=AHMU-UNIT/CN=AHMU-UNIT" -keyout start -out start

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

.........................................................................................+++

.............+++

writing new private key to 'start'

-----


Trying to find a way to prevent the output being output to 'stdout' but have not found a parameter (can redirect to a file but  the .....+ characters are still written to the console).


There either has to be a missed parameter or bug exist?


Thanks for your time regarding this issue,
Harold Lapprich
