I know that I can redirect stdout and stderr with the &>:
some command &> result_file
#sends stdout and stderr to result_file
I know that I can overcome the noclobber setting with the |:
some command >| result_file
# sends stdout to result_file, clobbering result if it exists
If I try to do both:
some command &>| result_file
I get this error:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
What's a straightforward way to both redirect and force a clobber?
