What does this syntax mean...

OK, the title is a little vague, but basically i was gonig through some files and ran into some strange syntax... heres what it looks like:

... 1&>~/<file extension>

where ... is a chain of commands (the 1&>~ is part of the arguments) and the file extension is just a pointer to a file somewhere on the computer. Whats this mean?

Thanks.

You're redirecting stdout (1&>) to a file in your home diectory (~/file extension).
