    If you don’t specify a number then the standard output stream is assumed but you can also redirect errors

    > file redirects stdout to file
    1> file redirects stdout to file
    2> file redirects stderr to file
    &> file redirects stdout and stderr to file

    /dev/null is the null device it takes any input you want and throws it away. It can be used to suppress any output.
