-=head1 NAME
-
-BIO_s_null - null data sink
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/bio.h>
-
- BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_null(void);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-BIO_s_null() returns the null sink BIO method. Data written to
-the null sink is discarded, reads return EOF.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-A null sink BIO behaves in a similar manner to the Unix /dev/null
-device.
-
-A null bio can be placed on the end of a chain to discard any data
-passed through it.
-
-A null sink is useful if, for example, an application wishes to digest some
-data by writing through a digest bio but not send the digested data anywhere.
-Since a BIO chain must normally include a source/sink BIO this can be achieved
-by adding a null sink BIO to the end of the chain
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-BIO_s_null() returns the null sink BIO method.
