Editing Redirection (computing) (section)

===Basic===
Typically, the [[syntax]] of these characters is as follows, using <code>&lt;</code> to redirect input, and <code>&gt;</code> to redirect output. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" inline>command > file1</syntaxhighlight> executes {{mono|command}}, placing the output in {{mono|file1}}, as opposed to displaying it at the terminal, which is the usual destination for standard output. This will [[Clobbering|clobber]] any existing data in {{mono|file1}}.

Using <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" inline>command < file1</syntaxhighlight> executes {{mono|command}}, with {{mono|file1}} as the source of input, as opposed to the [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]], which is the usual source for standard input.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" inline>command < infile > outfile</syntaxhighlight> combines the two capabilities: {{mono|command}} reads from {{mono|infile}} and writes to {{mono|outfile}}
