[chuck-users] chuck --probe output: not stdout

[Stefan Blixt]

Kassen, on unix stderr ends up in the console, the issue (if I understand
correctly) is when you want to pipe the output of chuck --probe to a file.

I just tried chuck -h > file.txt, and it's the same there, file.txt ends up
empty and I get the help output on the console. I'd say it's a bug, plain
and simple - unix apps don't commonly behave that way.
