+=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
+
