Suppressing pacman queries

I have scripted my customising of Arch Linux to facilitate easy production of parallel arch linux partitions that can be easily used to explore new approaches.  It is rather irritating when using pacman in s script to be asked to choose between different repositories and to confirm whether I want to go ahead with the installation.  I don't care about the first case and always want to install in the second

Is there some option I can use to suppress these questions?

--noconfirm, not sure whether you can or it's a good idea to skip selection among multiple providers.
