     1  # `null`
     2  
     3  > null function. Similar to /dev/null
     4  
     5  ## Description
     6  
     7  `null` is a function that acts a little like the `null` data type and the
     8  UNIX /dev/null device.
     9  
    10  ## Usage
    11  
    12  ```
    13  <stdin> -> null
    14  ```
    15  
    16  ## Examples
    17  
    18  ```
    19  » out "Hello, world!" -> null
    20  ```
    21  
    22  ## Detail
    23  
    24  While this method does exist, a more idiomatic way to suppress STDOUT is to
    25  use the named pipe property rather than piping to null:
    26  
    27  ```
    28  » out <null> "Hello, world!"
    29  ```
