What you were trying to do is, redirecting output of ls to /dev/null.
`ls` is the name of the command.
`>` is redirection operator.
`/dev/null` is a device or a file to which you are redirecting your output.
In your case `ls` doesn't have any arguments so, we don't provide any.
Inorder to write to `/dev/null`, we need to open it first.
Then we were redirecting cmd.Stdout to null.
(i.e., instead of writing commands ouput stdout, it will write to /dev/null)
cmd.Run() //runs the command.
