virtual shredder

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for virtual shredder - Next: virus, Prev: virtual reality
:virtual shredder: /n./ The jargonic equivalent of the bit bucket at shops using IBMs VM/CMS operating system. VM/CMS officially supports a whole bestiary of virtual card readers, virtual printers, and other phantom devices; these are used to supply some of the same capabilities Unix gets from pipes and I/O redirection.
