A Babeltrace\ \&2 \fBsink.utils.dummy\fR component consumes messages and discards them (does absolutely nothing with them)\&.

.sp
A \fBsink.utils.dummy\fR sink component can be useful to run a trace processing graph with no sink side effect, for example to perform benchmarks\&. Prefer a \fBsink.utils.dummy\fR component class for such tasks to, for example, a \fBsink.text.pretty\fR component and sending its output to \fB/dev/null\fR, as a \fBsink.text.pretty\fR component still performs formatting operations\&.
