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.
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. :)
