\slidesubheading{Objective} 

Candidate should be able to redirect streams and connect them in order
to efficiently process textual data. Tasks include redirecting
standard input, standard output, and standard error, piping the output
of one command to the input of another command, using the output of
one command as arguments to another command and sending output to both
stdout and a file.

  \slideheading{STDIN, STDOUT \& STDERR}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item When a process is run it needs 3 things:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item An input device (ie a keyboard)
    \item An output device (ie a screen)
    \item An error device - somewhere to send critical errors (normally the screen)
    \end{itemize}
\item Every process has 3 \textit{file descriptors}
\begin{itemize}
  \item fd 0 is for input 
  \item fd 1 is for normal output
  \item fd 2 is for error/abnormal output
  \end{itemize}
\item By default these devices all default to your current tty
\end{itemize}
\vfill \end{slide} %-----------------------------------------------------------
 
%==============================================================================

\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{Default File Descriptor Assignments}

\fbox{\epsfig{file=../images/redir-a.eps,height=.5\textheight}}

\begin{itemize}
\item fd 0 == stdin (keyboard)
\item fd 1 == stdout (screen)
\item fd 2 == stderr (screen)
\end{itemize}

\vfill \end{slide}

%==============================================================================
\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{Redirection \& Duplication Operators}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item There are 3 operators used for redirection:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item File redirects:  (\textless, \textgreater and \textgreater\textgreater operators)
    \item Pipelines (\textbar operator)
    \item File descriptor duplication (\textgreater\& operator)
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
  \vfill \end{slide}

%==============================================================================

\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{File Redirect Operators}

Each of the 3 file descriptors can be redirected to/from files as follows:

\fbox{\epsfig{file=../images/redir-b.eps,height=.5\textheight}}

Note that the redirect operators work with the file descriptors (0, 1 or 2) and \textit{not} with
the physical device itself (/dev/tty).


\vfill \end{slide}

%==============================================================================

\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{Pipeline Redirect Operator}

Consider the command \texttt{cmd1 | cmd2}.  The pipe operator takes data sent to stdout by cmd1 and
sends it to the input file descriptor (fd 0) of cmd2:


\fbox{\epsfig{file=../images/redir-c.eps,width=.9\textwidth}}

Note that the pipe connects stdout (which may or may not be associated with fd 1) to fd 0 of the next command.

%==============================================================================

  \slideheading{File Descriptor Duplication Operator}

A file descriptor can be made to be a copy of another descriptor. Consider the command
\texttt{cmd 2\textgreater\&1}. This will make fd 2 become a copy of fd 1.

  \slideheading{Examples of File Output Redirection}

For the following examples, we use the two example files \texttt{good} and \texttt{nofile}
created thus:

\cmd{echo "This is good" > good}

\cmd{rm nofile} 


And to test what output is going where, we use the following command line:

\cmd{cat good nofile}

which will produce:
\begin{verbatim}
This is good                            (stdout)
cat: nofile: No such file or directory  (stderr)
\end{verbatim}

    \item \cmd{cat < input.txt}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Redirect stdout to file:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile > out.txt}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Redirect stderr to file:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile 2> err.txt}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Redirect stdout \& stderr to file:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile > out-err.txt 2>\&1}
    \begin{center} \textit{OR} \end{center}

  \slideheading{File Redirection Summary}

To append to a file instead of overwriting, simply replace \textgreater with \textgreater\textgreater

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Redirect stdout to file (append):
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile >> out.txt}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Redirect stderr to file (append):
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile 2>> err.txt}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Redirect stdout \& stderr to file (append):
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile >> out-err.txt 2>\&1}
    \begin{center} \textit{OR} \end{center}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile 2>> out-err.txt 1>\&2}

\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{Pipe Redirection Summary}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Pipe stdout to stdin:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile | sed -n p}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Pipe stdout \& stderr to stdin
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile 2>\&1 | sed -n p}
    \end{itemize}
  \item Pipe stderr to stdin
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cmd{cat good nofile 2>\&1 >/dev/null | sed -n p}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}

%==============================================================================

\begin{slide}{} %Andrew Eager
  \slideheading{A cool example - Swap stdout \& stderr}

In this example, we are going to swap stdout \& stderr by using a temporary fd
as a holding buffer:

If we execute the command using a normal pipe:

\cmd{cat good nofile | sed -n -p > stdout.txt}
 
\texttt{cat: nofile: No such file or directory}

Now if we swap stdout \& stderr: 

\cmd{cat good nofile 255>\&1 1>\&2 2>\&255 | sed -n -p > stdout.txt}

\texttt{This is good}
