[Patch v1 3/3] t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from generate_zero_bytes

From
Rrandall.s.becker@rogers.com <randall.s.becker@rogers.com>
Date
Feb 9, 2019, 18:59 UTC
Message-ID
<20190209185930.5256-4-randall.s.becker@rogers.com>
In-Reply-To
<20190209185930.5256-1-randall.s.becker@rogers.com>
From: "Randall S. Becker" <rsbecker@nexbridge.com>

This change removes the dependency on /dev/zero with an equivalent pipe of deliberately NUL bytes. This allows tests to proceed where /dev/zero does not exist.
