NullFrontend extends PhpFrontend

This class only acts as shortcut to construct a cache frontend with a null backend.

It extends PhpFrontend to be sure it can also be used for all types of caches (also the one requiring a PhpFrontend like "core"). TODO: Instead a factory class should be introduced that replaces this class and \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Bootstrap::createCache

Constructs the cache
collectGarbage()  : mixed
Does garbage collection
flush()  : mixed
Removes all cache entries of this cache.
flushByTag()  : mixed
Removes all cache entries of this cache which are tagged by the specified tag.
flushByTags()  : mixed
Removes all cache entries of this cache which are tagged by any of the specified tags.
get()  : string
Finds and returns a variable value from the cache.
getBackend()  : BackendInterface
Returns the backend used by this cache
getIdentifier()  : string
Returns this cache's identifier
has()  : bool
Checks if a cache entry with the specified identifier exists.
isValidEntryIdentifier()  : bool
Checks the validity of an entry identifier. Returns TRUE if it's valid.
isValidTag()  : bool
Checks the validity of a tag. Returns TRUE if it's valid.
remove()  : bool
Removes the given cache entry from the cache.
require()  : mixed
Loads PHP code from the cache and require() it right away. Note require() in comparison to requireOnce() is only "safe" if the cache entry only contain stuff that can be required multiple times during one request. For instance a class definition would fail here.
