This is something I see every now and again that I don't quite understand.
Some commands have something that looks like a redirection, but doesn't seem
to make any sense to me, for example (during a build of the jpeg6b library):

> gcc -O2 -I/sw/include -I. -c ./wrjpgcom.c -o wrjpgcom.o >/dev/null 2>&1

Ignore that it's gcc etc, what does the "2>&1" at the end mean/do exactly?
