+\item{...}{the functional expression to be evaluated}

+\description{
+This function is used to suppress information printed from external functions
+that make internal use of \code{link{message}} and \code{\link{cat}}, which
+provide information in interactive R sessions. For simulations, the session
+is not interactive, and therefore this type of output should be suppressed.
+For similar behavior for suppressing warning messages see
+\code{\link{suppressWarnings}}, though use this function carefully as some
+warnings can be meaningful and unexpected.
