BIO_s_null(3openssl) OpenSSL BIO_s_null(3openssl) NAME BIO_s_null - null data sink SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/bio.h> BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_null(void); DESCRIPTION BIO_s_null() returns the null sink BIO method. Data written to the null sink is discarded, reads return EOF. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+--------------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+--------------------------+ |Availability | library/security/openssl | +---------------+--------------------------+ |Stability | Pass-through uncommitted | +---------------+--------------------------+ 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 Source code for open source software components in Oracle Solaris can be found at https://www.oracle.com/downloads/opensource/solaris-source- code-downloads.html.
