LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 103

In Bash, inserting 1>&2 after a command redirects...

Answer options

• A. ...standard error to standard input.
• B. ...standard output to standard error.
• C. ...standard input to standard error.
• D. ...standard error to standard output.
• E. ...standard output to standard input.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the '1' represents standard output, and the '2' denotes standard error; thus, 1>&2 redirects standard output to standard error. The other options incorrectly describe the relationships between standard input, output, and error.
