systemd\-mute\-console\&.socket
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBsystemd\-mute\-console\fR
tool and service may be used to temporarily mute the log output of the kernel as well as the status output of the service manager to the system console\&. It may be used by tools running on the console to ensure their terminal output is not interrupted by unrelated messages\&.
.PP
The tool can be invoked directly in which case it will mute the two outputs and then issue an
\fBsd_notify\fR(3)
"READY=1"
notification once that is completed\&. On
\fBSIGINT\fR
or
\fBSIGTERM\fR
output is unmuted again\&. Alternatively it can be invoked via Varlink IPC\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
