  Redirecting STDERR
  STDERR
  Sometimes important
  Sometimes just clutter
  STDERR is file descriptor #2
  Use '2>' instead of '>' to redirect it
      $ ls private/* public/*
      public/foo.txt
      public/bar.txt
      private: access denied
      $ ls private/* public/* >/dev/null
      private: access denied
      $ ls private/* public/* 2>/dev/null
      public/foo.txt
      public/bar.txt
