Cat/File Descriptor Question

For the command below, I need to understand what exactly the command does and provide an examples for which the output will be saved to file save2... From my understanding, if the file provides an error in the first half of the pipe, it'll save to save1 and will never give an error to save to save2. I'm just confused as to what exactly would cause it to save anything to save2.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
Code:
cat 2>save1 0<memo | sort 2>save2 1>letter

Any help with this or if anyone can provide a tutorial that goes into examples using a combination of cat, pipes and file descriptors I would really appreciate it!

Texas State University, San Marcos, TX, USA, Professor Quijun Gu, CS 4350

mrtg-mibhelp - A Table of some interesting OIDs OVERVIEW
This File Contains a collection of interesting MIB Entries ... mrtg knows about their names ... depending on the ASN.1 Syntax you may have to put gauge into the Options[]: parameter. For information about how to create a Target[]: parameter which references these MIB entries, please consult mrtg-reference. MIB LIST
ifOperStatus Descriptor: ifOperStatus Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 ASN.1 Syntax: INTEGER Enumeration: up 1, down 2, testing 3 The current operational state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. ifAdminStatus Descriptor: ifAdminStatus Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7 ASN.1 Syntax: INTEGER Enumeration: up 1, down 2, testing 3 The current administrative state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. ifInOctets Descriptor: ifInOctets Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters. ifInUcastPkts Descriptor: ifInUcastPkts Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol. ifInNUcastPkts Descriptor: ifInNUcastPkts Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork- broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol. ifInDiscards Descriptor: ifInDiscards Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space. ifInErrors Descriptor: ifInErrors Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. ifInUnknownProtos Descriptor: ifInUnknownProtos Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.15 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. ifOutOctets Descriptor: ifOutOctets Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters. ifOutUcastPkts Descriptor: ifOutUcastPkts Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent. ifOutNUcastPkts Descriptor: ifOutNUcastPkts Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non- unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent. ifOutDiscards Descriptor: ifOutDiscards Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space. ifOutErrors Descriptor: ifOutErrors Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20 ASN.1 Syntax: Counter32 The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. ifOutQLen Descriptor: ifOutQLen Identifier: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.21 ASN.1 Syntax: Unsigned32 The length of the output packet queue (in packets). frInOctets From: Simon Ferrett <simonf@world.net> 'frInOctets' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.2.1.9' 'frOutOctets' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.2.1.7' which when used in the form: frInOctets.pp.dd&frOutOctets.pp.dd:community@cisco.router where pp is the physical port that the frame relay pvc is defined on and dd is the DLCI of the pvc gets you the in and out octets for just that pvc. ifAdminHack and ifOperHack The return values of ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus are not very useful for graphing. Use ifOperHack and ifAdminHack instead. They return 1 for UP and 0 otherwise. Note these are not real MIB entities but mrtg hacks PseudoZero and PseudoOne will return 0 and 1 respectively Note these are not real MIB entities but mrtg hacks AUTHOR
