cmit 391 discussion week 1

Linux distributions have three basic forms of Input/Output (standard input, standard output, and standard error) redirections which will need to understand how to use each one.

• State the purpose of each of three I/O forms including which file descriptor is used for each one
• Provide your own redirection command syntax example as well as description what your command syntax will do
• (optional-challenging) How would command syntax appear if you want redirect the cat command standard ouput and standard error to the same file?  This would be useful if you want to view results of the cat command in a file containing both regular output and any error(s) which might appear (ex. syntax error).
