Jun 2	comment	Precedence of stdin and stdout redirection in Bash @dpacmittal The first example, `ls > foo 2>&1`, operates like this: first, standard output is redirected to `foo`, then, standard error is redirected to standard output, which is now the file `foo`. The second example, `ls 2>&1 > foo`, operates like this: standard error is redirected to standard output before standard output is redirected to `foo`, so standard error is echoed locally instead of being directed to the file.
Jun 2	comment	Precedence of stdin and stdout redirection in Bash @fpmurphy `bash` is generally POSIX compliant, except in the situations outlined here, where the default `bash` behavior differs. To make `bash` conform more, you can use the `--posix` option.
