Redirecting Outputs

First of all, to redirect a certain output of the command-line we have to use the symbol ">".

Even in this case, we will use a file named "Hello", in which we want to move a certain output, like "Sun".


$ echo Sun > Hello

So if we copy the the file on our command-line, the output will be the following:

$ cat Hello
Sun



If we want to move a certain output to an existing file, we just have to use twice the ">" symbol.


$ echo Bright >> Hello

$ cat Hello
Sun
Bright



Redirecting Inputs

To redirect an input from a file for a command, you have to use symbol "<".
In fact, it's not useful, as the result that obtain is just the content of the file.

Redirecting inputs becomes useful when it comes to chaining, so let's see it.
