dev/null :

In Unix-like operating systems, /dev/null or the null device is a special
file that discards all data written to it (but reports that the write
operation succeeded), and provides no data to any process that reads from
it (it returns EOF). In Unix programmer jargon, it may also be called the
bit bucket or black hole.
The null device is typically used for disposing of unwanted output streams
of a process, or as a convenient empty file for input streams. This is
usually done by redirection.
This entity is a common inspiration for technical jargon expressions and
metaphors by Unix programmers, e.g. "please send complaints to /dev/null,"
"my mail got archived in /dev/null," and "redirect to /dev/null," being
jocular ways of saying, respectively: "don't bother to send any
complaints," "my mail got deleted," and "go to hell." A famous
advertisement for the Titanium Pow
