what does this command do?

Hi all,

I would like to know how this command works

exec </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1

Also please pay particular attention to the syntax and i would like to know if the syntax is correct (particularly the spacing!!)
Am trying to debug a script at boot time and am not getting any errors so thought i would use this to figure out what's going wrong?

Thanks
