<p>Yes, > is the shell redirection operator. 2> says to redirect CD number two, which is the stderr stream. Without an integer supplied, the stdout stream (number 1) is the default.</p>
<p>The < operator is input redirection. Its default target is the process' fd 0 (stdin), though again that can be changed. A program that, for example, opened a socket connection as fd 5 and fd 6 could be used with shell redirection (and even fancier pipelining) if desired.</p>
<p>Again, I think you should spend some time getting familiar with "UNIX" as a whole. Even concepts from the late 60s and 70s are still applicable on moden systems, and the basics are essentially unchanged. :)</p>
