To complete your education :) fd stands for file descriptor. |

fd/0 = stdin |

fd/1 = stdout |
| 10 |
fd/2 = stderr |

You can create your own file descriptors and use them to manipulate |
| 13 |
opened files. See man bash for more info. (It is, for example, |
| 14 |
necessary if you do CLI scripting with a user interface using Dialog.) |
