Console command redirect to nothing

Question

Is there a way to redirect Windows console commands to nothing\null?

A regular redirection might look like:

prog.exe > a.txt

However in my case I would like to redirect the output so that it will not be written or displayed anywhere.

Answer 1

Absolutely!

This directs standard output to nul:

prog.exe >nul

This directs errors to nul:

prog.exe 2>nul

This directs both to nul:

prog.exe >nul 2>nul
