Sending nmap output to a file without also printing it to standard output

I am invoking nmap with the following command: 

nmap -oX i.xml -p 1-1023 -r -T4 -d -d

Doing this sends output to i.xml successfully. However, text is still printed on the command line in additional being redirected to i.xml. I would like the command to run silently on the command line, but to still write all of its output to my i.xml file. I tried using the -v0 argument, but using it results in neither my XML file nor the command line seeing any output.

How can I tell nmap to send its output only to my XML file?

First, you didn't specified any target on your command line. Not sure what you intend to do Second, -oX i.xml will output to i.xml AND stdout To have results only on xml file (and not on stdout), add an extra -v0 parameter

Have you tried redirecting stdout to the null device?

nmap -oX i.xml -p 1-1023 -r -T4 -d -d >/dev/null

On Windows, use NUL instead of /dev/null
