lnav reading from stdin (e.g. journalctl) prints input on exit

[jefft]

For instance, run seq 100 | lnav. After quitting lnav, 1 to 100 printed on the terminal. lnav does not 'consume' stdin like, for instance, less or vim - does. It's a bit annoying having the whole log file dumped to the terminal.

Shell process substitution is a pretty decent workaround. e.g. lnav <(seq 100)

The -q option should change the behavior.

lnav -q does the trick, thanks.

Hmm.. feels like -q should be the default, and scripts needing the current behaviour can end with write-to -. But then I don't understand the use-cases.
