13*2175Sjp161948=head1 DESCRIPTION
14*2175Sjp161948
15*2175Sjp161948BIO_f_null() returns the null filter BIO method. This is a filter BIO
16*2175Sjp161948that does nothing.
17*2175Sjp161948
18*2175Sjp161948All requests to a null filter BIO are passed through to the next BIO in
19*2175Sjp161948the chain: this means that a BIO chain containing a null filter BIO
20*2175Sjp161948behaves just as though the BIO was not there.
