$ wwwoffle URL always gets a fresh copy from the net, but doesn't put it on stdout. #Full yank, 2 line spray $ wwwoffle -o URL only gets a fresh copy from the net but e.g., only once a day, but does put it on stdout. #Frugal yank, big spray Therefore if one wants a combination, one must do $ wwwoffle -o URL > /dev/null #Frugal yank, no spray Alas, must send the bytes to /dev/null, as no exact options are available. and $ wwwoffle URL > /dev/null; wwwoffle -o URL #Full yank, big spray I'd say that -f -o should be allowed.
