[Feature Request] Addition of "--quiet" flag Where Applicable

[p0da]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind feature

Description

Would it be possible to add a --quiet flag to various commands that would prevent any output to stdout? For example both podman stop and podman rm would be good candidates. Of course one can always &> /dev/null but there are instances where that is not available i.e running podman without using a shell.

The --quiet option usually stops progress output. But for those tools that do not currently have --quiet, I have no problem with that change.

I am not sure it is customary to block stderr on --quiet though.

[p0da]

Personally I have seen behavior vary between tools. Perhaps --quiet by default could only block stdout while something like --quiet=stderr or --quiet=both would also block stderr.

[rhatdan]

That is a difficult change, since --quiet is a boolean, Getting CLI Processor to handle something like that would be difficult.

[p0da]

Of course if it prohibitively difficult just stopping output to stdout will suffice. However having both would be nice to have.
