I am just not familiar with this usage of /dev/zero.


The behavior of /dev/null is clear.
The read/write to /dev/null is described in the standard:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap10.html

I just do not know whether the write to /dev/zero is
the defined-behavior or not.
