  Input/Output Redirection
  You can direct input/output from/to files as well:
      > filename -- direct stdout to filename (truncates it!)
     >> filename -- append stdout to filename
      < filename -- read input from filename
  Example
    $ wc -l /etc/group
    57 /etc/group
    $ wc -l < /etc/group
    57
    $ sort words.txt > words-sorted.txt
