Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I noticed this while looking for [this](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29947) bug. In MSYS/MinGW, It calls the `unlink` function even for 'nul', but it wasn't throwing any errors. I decided to submit this patch because it already has some code checking for special devices before calling `unlink`. If it's not required then I guess we can close this. Thanks.
