cURL command for status code output only

If you would ever need a cURL command to only get a no-fuss status code in the output, then here is my choice:

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" [YOUR_URL]

Output will look like this:

$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://www.techrecyclebin.com

That it :)
