+Subject: [PATCH] Add posix.redirect2null
+
+This is useful to silence output in forked programs:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1287918
+
+Tested with the following scriptlet:
+%post -p <lua>
+pid = posix.fork()
+if pid == 0 then
+    assert(posix.exec("/bin/sed"))
+elseif pid > 0 then
+    posix.wait(pid)
+end
+pid = posix.fork()
+if pid == 0 then
+    posix.redirect2null(2)
+    assert(posix.exec("/bin/awk"))
+elseif pid > 0 then
+    posix.wait(pid)
+end
+
+As expected, the error message from sed is printed, the error message
+from awk is not.
