standard output Definition standard output
The standard output is the device or file where programs write
output by default. It is defined in the header file stdio.h
under the abbreviation stdout, and in most instances is defined
to be the computer's monitor.
The COHERENT shell sh lets you redirect into a file all text
written to the standard output device. To do so, use the shell
operator >. For example
sort myfile >sortfile
redirects the text output by sort into file sortfile.
