RE: Hooks on Windows

There's a special DOS device called NUL that acts like *nix /dev/null. I
don't know if it's a cmd.exe-specific feature or more general. It's in the
same class as CON, PRN, COM1, COM2, etc.

Is there a standard equivalent to /dev/null in Windows? I'm not aware
of one, but I would be very happy if someone could point one out.
