CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 (v7) Practice Question

In a Linux system, what is the effect of redirecting the output of a command to /dev/null (for example, mycommand > /dev/null)?

  • The data is mirrored to the system console while also remaining available in the file.

  • The data is compressed and stored in a temporary buffer for later retrieval.

  • The data is discarded permanently; the write appears to succeed but nothing is stored.

  • The data is encrypted and saved in the user's home directory.
