stfu

shut the filestream up

what is this?

suppose I want to run firefox right from the terminal but only because it's convenient. not for any debug log purposes or anything like that.

I often end up doing

firefox &>/dev/null &
disown

now, I can make this a function in my rc file, but I frequently interchange between bash, fish, zsh.

so why not make this a shell-agnostic C program?
