Question 11/23
Answer: ls /etc >DirContents
Explanation: Mostly all commands send their output to the screen or take input from the keyboard, but in Linux
it is possible to send output to a file or to read input from a file. For example, the ls command sends it's output
to screen; to send the output to a file, you can use the command ls > filename. This will send the output of the ls
command to filename. In this question, the ls command lists the contents of the /etc directory and sends the list
to a file named DirContents.
