Nope, it redirects the output on file descriptor 6 to file descriptor 1, the standard output.

That redirects stdout _to_ file descriptor 6, and would likely be the source of the stuff that gets back via the other redirection. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
