\description{

\usage{
nullfile()
nullcon()
}
\value{
\code{nullfile()} returns a \code{\link[base]{character}} string, which is \code{"/dev/null"}
except on Windows where it is \code{"nul:"}.
\code{nullcon()} returns a \emph{newly opened} (binary) \code{\link[base:connections]{connection}} to
the NULL device - make sure to close it when no longer needed.
}
\seealso{
In R (>= 3.6.0), there exists \code{base::nullfile()}, which is
identical to \code{R.utils::nullfile()}.
