Just for clarification, /dev/null is a "device"
(psudo-device), not a directory. It is
essentially a "bit-bucket" meaning that you can
send data to it and it will "dispose" of that
data. For instance...

ls -l > /dev/null

...will send all the output of "ls -l" to the
bit bucket. No output will be displayed.
