- .short
- DOS-handler like /dev/zero in Unix
- .description
- An AmigaDOS handler much like the /dev/zero device in Unix.
- It provides streams of 0-bytes, which can be unlimited or set to an
- arbitrary limit. There are two ways to use the handler:
-
- zero: unlimited stream of 0-bytes
- zero:<number> a stream of <number> 0-bytes
-
- Examples:
-
- copy zero: to somefile will quickly fill your harddisk
- copy zero:2000 to somefile generates a file of 2000 0-bytes
- copy zero:0 to somefile generates a file of size 0
- copy zero:foo to somefile results in an error
