Save program output and error to different files

Answer:

Assume you are going to execute a program called foobar, and it emits to both the standard output and standard error. You want to save them into different files, try

# ./foobar 1> output.txt 2> error.txt

or simply

# ./foobar > output.txt 2> error.txt
