In info we note
`--batch'
Run Emacs in "batch mode", which means that the text being edited
is not displayed and the standard terminal interrupt characters
such as `C-z' and `C-c' continue to have their normal effect.
Emacs in batch mode outputs to `stderr' only what would normally
stderr is mentioned
be displayed in the echo area under program control, and functions
which would normally read from the minibuffer take their input
from `stdin'.
stdin is mentioned
But stdout is not mentioned, so users can't figure out how to use it,
and end up using e.g.,
emacs -batch -eval '(progn(bbdb "." t)(other-window 1)(write-file
"/dev/stdout"))'
- --batch: mention how to write to stdout,
