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.

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

RETURN VALUES
       BIO_s_null() returns the null sink BIO method.
