[UX suggestion] "Real quiet" flag

[martin-eden]

Describe the request

Hello, can we have "real quiet" flag?

I often compile my code using arduino-cli compile. It's called with --quiet flag (code).

Result I'm interested is presence of compilation errors.

In both cases arduino-cli compile also produces output with list of libraries (using markup codes for modern VT100 terminals):

I don't want to see screen of my libraries every time.

Under quiet I assume produces constant number of lines.

So these lines are ok:

Sketch uses 12938 bytes (40%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 1146 bytes (55%) of dynamic memory, leaving 902 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Used platform Version Path
arduino:avr   1.8.6   /home/me/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.8.6

But list of libraries is variable-length and useless for me in most cases.

Perhaps we can have switch to turn it off?

P.S. Variable-length list of lines with compilation errors is OK and wished.

Describe the current behavior

Printing list of used libraries can't be turned off (or I don't know how).

Well, I ended up duckduckgoing and adding pipe to sed: | sed '/Used library/,//d'.

Look, many people using your CLI tool as CLI tool! They are passing output to another programs. Not reading fancy colored text.
