OpenSSH SSH client (remote login program)
Before a command is executed, its input and output may be redirected using a special notation interpreted
by  the  shell.   Redirection  may  also  be used to open and close files for the current shell execution
environment.  The following redirection operators may precede or appear anywhere within a simple  command
or may follow a command.  Redirections are processed in the order they appear, from left to right.

Redirecting Input
    Redirection  of  input  causes  the  file  whose name results from the expansion of word to be opened for
    reading on file descriptor n, or the standard input (file descriptor 0) if n is not specified.

    The general format for redirecting input is:

           [n]<word
Before a command is executed, its input and output may be redirected using a special notation interpreted

Redirecting Output
    Redirection of output causes the file whose name results from the expansion of  word  to  be  opened  for
    writing  on  file descriptor n, or the standard output (file descriptor 1) if n is not specified.  If the
    file does not exist it is created; if it does exist it is truncated to zero size.

    The general format for redirecting output is:

           [n]>word

    If the redirection operator is >, and the noclobber option to the  set  builtin  has  been  enabled,  the
    redirection  will  fail if the file whose name results from the expansion of word exists and is a regular
    file.  If the redirection operator is >|, or the redirection operator is > and the  noclobber  option  to
    the  set  builtin  command  is  not  enabled, the redirection is attempted even if the file named by word
    exists.
-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
        Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and
        port on the remote side.  This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side,
        optionally bound to the specified bind_address.  Whenever a connection is made to this port, the
        connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to host port hostport
        from the remote machine.  Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.  IPv6
        addresses can be specified by enclosing the address in square brackets.  Only the superuser can
        forward privileged ports.  By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts
        setting.  However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific
        address.  The bind_address of “localhost” indicates that the listening port be bound for local use
        only, while an empty address or ‘*’ indicates that the port should be available from all
        interfaces.
