To complete your education :) fd stands for file descriptor.
fd/0 = stdin
fd/1 = stdout
fd/2 = stderr
You can create your own file descriptors and use them to manipulate
opened files. See man bash for more info. (It is, for example,
necessary if you do CLI scripting with a user interface using Dialog.)
