+**--quiet**|**--hush**::
+ Override the default console log. By default, Tor starts out logging
+ messages at level "notice" and higher to the console. It stops doing so
+ after it parses its configuration, if the configuration tells it to log
+ anywhere else. You can override this behavior with the **--hush** option,
+ which tells Tor to only send warnings and errors to the console, or with
+ the **--quiet** option, which tells Tor not to log to the console at all.
Other options can be specified either on the command-line (--option
value), or in the configuration file (option value or option "value").
