Use
sudo:)What are you trying to achieve?
A smile, obviously.
You need to use
/dev/null as a Servicefor windows compatibility.
https://devnull-as-a-service.com/Correct me if im wrong, but I thought dev/null was to silence output.You sure you want to move those files there?
/dev/null is nothing, empty void. If you move something there it just gets deleted
You can’t move anything there, it’s a “character special file” that can’t be deleted. If you pipe something there, it does nothing. (As opposed to something like /dev/stdin, that prints what you pipe to it on stdin.) Character special files act kind of like named pipes, except they’re handled by the kernel on one side.
It’s a “null drive”. Anything that goes in is just simply discarded and a EOF is sent in return. If you “move” a file there, it just gets discarded
Just try it. I’m literally telling you the truth. It is not a drive, and you cannot move files to it. It doesn’t have a file system, and you can’t create one on it. It cannot be mounted like a drive. Drives are block special files, and /dev/null is a character special file, not a block special file.
