Quiet mode

Most of the applications have a `quiet mode' in which they issue fewer informational and warning messages. The exceptions are catcdsin and catremote, which are Perl scripts rather than conventional applications. The quiet mode suppresses only some informational and warning messages; it does not affect error messages. All the applications which support the quiet mode use the same mechanism to control it. By default the applications are in a `verbose' mode in which they issue informational and warning messages. To switch to quiet mode an additional option is specified when invoking any of the applications which support it, for example:

catcopy  quiet=true

The quiet mode will now remain in effect, not just for the one invocation of catcopy, but for all subsequent invocations of all the applications that support the quiet mode. To revert to verbose mode type, for example:

catchart  quiet=false

The quiet mode can also be set as one of the configuration options of xcatview (see Section ). Finally, I advise you to use the quiet mode with caution; it is usually better to see the informational and warning messages.
