Commands revisited: pipes and redirection
In this chapter, you will learn how to put the results of a command into a file,
how to use a file as input to a command, and how to put commands
together to form customized utilities.
You will also learn how to join files together, how to write information
onto the end of a file, and how to put commands in the background
to use the computer to do more than one task at once.
Before you begin, you should know what files and directories are, and how to
create a file using cat or vi.
