Redirect output of command to a file
$ ${command} > ${file}
try on your machine

This command is a form of input/output redirection used in Unix-like systems. Here's a breakdown:

  • ${command}: This is a placeholder for a command that you want to run. Replace ${command} with the actual command you want to execute.
  • >: This is a symbol used for output redirection. It is used to redirect the standard output of the command to a file.
  • ${file}: This is a placeholder for the file where you want to redirect the output. Replace ${file} with the actual filename or path.

By combining these parts, the command will execute the specified ${command} and redirect its output to the ${file}. The contents of the ${file} will be replaced with the output generated by running the command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
