Redirect stdout
$ ${command} 1> ${file}
try on your machine

This command has two parts: ${command} and 1> ${file}.

${command} refers to a variable representing some executable command or script. The content of the variable will be substituted in place of ${command} when the command is executed.

1> ${file} is a redirection operator in Unix-based systems (such as Linux). The "1" denotes the file descriptor for standard output (stdout), which is the default output stream that displays the command's output in the terminal. ">" is the output redirection operator, which redirects the output to a file instead of displaying it on the terminal. ${file} represents a variable that holds the name or path of the file where the command's output will be redirected.

By using the command substitution syntax and the output redirection operator, this command executes the content of ${command} and saves its standard output to the file represented by ${file}.

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.
