A "sac".
Corrected answer:
This depends on the outcome of the at bat:
***if the bunt successfully advances another baserunner to the next base and the batter is out at 1st then it is a "Sac Bunt" -- no official at-bat
***if the bunt does not successfully advance the other baserunners then you score it as an out using the fielding numbers to idicate who is credited with the put out -- this is a fielders choice, the at-bat would count, no hit given
***if nobody is on base and you reach successfully to first base then you are credited with a single
