Exam LX0-103 topic 3 question 2 discussion

n Bash, inserting 1>&2 after a command redirects standard output to standard error. The number 1 refers to the file descriptor for standard output (stdout), and the &2 refers to the file descriptor for standard error (stderr). The > operator is used to redirect output from one file descriptor to another. So, when you run a command followed by 1>&2, the standard output of that command will be redirected to standard error, which means that the output of the command will be written to the same place as error messages. This can be useful in certain situations, such as when you want to capture both the output and error messages of a command in the same log file.
