In the emper-fs-eval I would like to validate the output of the fsearch
variants against a list of known files. Not writing any log messages to
stdout make that easier.

Use -1 as the offset of the write to stdout.
Passing offset -1 means to use the file's implicit offset just like write(2).
When using a tty as stdout offset 0 is fine but when redirecting stdout
to a file 0 will cause that previously found paths will always be
overwritten.
