make

[Michael Havens]

I have a question about redirections:

   make>>make.fail 2>&1

tells it make and then to send (>) stderr (2) to stdout (1) and also to
send stdout that way also (&1). finally all of that gets sent to a file
named make.fail (>>). Isn't '>>' actually 'append' whereas '>' would work
just as well so long as the file didn't already exist? If the file did
exist would I get an error or would the file be overwritten?
