Help with open, dup and dup2

[seifyr]

What sequence of calls to open, dup and/or dup2 do you perform in your
program in order to achieve the following effects?

$prog1>file 2>&1

and

$prog2 2>&1 > file

I understand which each line does, but I dont understand how to use dup
and dup2 to acheive this. I don't necessarily need code just an
understanding of how do accomplish this.

None. open, dup, and dup2 are not defined in standard C.
Try comp.unix.programmer.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
