writers.null

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

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.
