[Mono-list] Opening /dev/null using FileStream

The point is that the string is not fixed to "/dev/null" in the real
application. It could also name a regular file. It's just that if I'm not
interested in this information, I would like to specify "/dev/null".

Of course, the easy hack would be to check the filename for "/dev/null" and
then programmatically switch between FileStream or Stream.Null. But this
problem made me curious whether it is a problem with Mono or whether I'm
just using it wrong.

Best regards,
Markus
