NUL has various meanings in the Unix category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of NUL in Unix.
When a variable has no value, it considered to be null. Having a null value is different than having a value of 0, since 0 is an actual value. However, when used in a boolean test, both null and zero result in a FALSE value. Programmers often use boolean tests to determine whether a variable has been given a value or not.
