There is two 'global' bb_tools options that may be used to control
verbosity:
Usage: bb_tools [bb_tools_opts] <bb_tools_cmd> [cmd_opts]
bb_tools_opts:
-s silent mode (may be used for silent scripting)
-v verbose mode
-n no newline read mode
So that I would say that the "no option" case may be more verbose for
ERROR case, since if someone wants to use a "silent" bb_tools then
s/he should use '-s'.
Thus my opinion is:
-s mode should really remain silent :=)
default (no option) mode may be automatically verbose for error case
-v mode should print as many information as one wants
(was used for debugging address issue)
Sidenote:
the -n no newline mode is handy for coding some
A=`bb_tools -n bb_read bb_simu bb_simu_1_Titi`
and avoiding the trailing '\n'.
I would say that "ERROR" should be the outputed value in case or
ERROR in read 'no newline' mode.
