In bash you can place redirections almost anywhere in the command. All these are equivalent:

$ > file command arg1 arg2 arg3
$ command > file arg1 arg2 arg3
$ command arg1 > file arg2 arg3
$ command arg1 arg2 > file arg3
$ command arg1 arg2 arg3 > file

Try it yourself:

$ > file echo hello
$ echo > file hello
$ echo hello > file

Pretty cool, huh?
