mute-stream is a small, dependency-free Node.js module that provides a simple way to mute and unmute streams (like stdout and stderr). This is invaluable for testing command-line applications or scenarios where you need to temporarily suppress output. It features methods to temporarily silence the stream, restore the original stream, and inspect if the stream is muted. It helps prevent test output from interfering with results.
