The command 'ls > files' redirects the standard output of the 'ls' command to a file named 'files'. If 'files' does not exist, it will be created and will contain the output of 'ls'. This behavior is due to the redirection operator '>', which directs the output to a file and creates the file if it does not already exist.

Simple redirection: > Will write stdout to a file ( if the file exists it will overwrite it) >> Will append stdout to a file ( write to next line after the original data ends ) Both will create the file is it doesn't exist
