Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the
command

         ls > dirlist 2>&1

directs both standard output and standard error to the file dirlist,
while the command

         ls 2>&1 > dirlist

directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard
error was duplicated as standard output before the standard output was
redirected to dirlist.
