writers.null

Contents

writers.null#

The null writer discards its input. No point output is produced when using a null writer.

Default Embedded Stage

This stage is enabled by default

Streamable Stage

This stage supports streaming operations

Example#

[
    {
        "type":"readers.las",
        "filename":"inputfile.las"
    },
    {
        "type":"filters.hexbin"
    },
    {
        "type":"writers.null"
    }
]

When used with an option that forces metadata output, like –pipeline-serialization, this pipeline will create a hex boundary for the input file, but no output point data file will be produced.

Options#

The null writer discards all passed options.
