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. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -TBA |
