What is the DOS equivalent of 1>/dev/null?

Question

I want to suppress the output of my script running under DOS, similar to the following under a *nix environment:

 $ command 1>/dev/null

How can I do this?

It should be >NUL on both DOS and Windows console.

Here's an example of using > NUL

copy mfc42d.dll $windir\system32 > nul
regsvr32 $windir\system32\mfc42d.dll /s > nul
