13*4724848cSchristos=head1 DESCRIPTION
14*4724848cSchristos
15*4724848cSchristosBIO_f_null() returns the null filter BIO method. This is a filter BIO
16*4724848cSchristosthat does nothing.
17*4724848cSchristos
18*4724848cSchristosAll requests to a null filter BIO are passed through to the next BIO in
19*4724848cSchristosthe chain: this means that a BIO chain containing a null filter BIO
20*4724848cSchristosbehaves just as though the BIO was not there.

23*4724848cSchristos
24*4724848cSchristosAs may be apparent a null filter BIO is not particularly useful.
