-babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy - Babeltrace's dummy sink component class
+== NAME
+babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy - Babeltrace 2's dummy sink component class
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-The Babeltrace compcls:sink.utils.dummy component class, provided by the
-man:babeltrace2-plugin-utils(7) plugin, once instantiated, receives
-notifications from its input port and discards them (does absolutely
-nothing with them).
-A compcls:sink.utils.dummy sink component can be useful to run a trace
-processing graph with no sink side effect, for example to perform
-benchmarks. You should prefer this component class for such tasks
-instead of, for example, using a compcls:sink.text.pretty component and
-sending its output to `/dev/null`, as a compcls:sink.text.pretty
-component still performs pretty-printing operations.
