Show the advantages of redirection with example in unix?

Answer 1

I/O Redirection is used when you don't want the output to go to the standard output location, e.g., the screen. It can be very helpful in capturing information to be used in a later process.

For example, if the command 'ls' is used the output goes to the screen.

But if the command 'ls > ls.out' is used, then the ls command output will be redirected to a file called ls.out, which can be examined, edited, or used in a later process.
