+<h2><a name="redirector">I/O redirection</a></h2>
+<p>For many tasks, input and output can be defined in a fairly
+straightforward fashion. The <a href="../Tasks/exec.html">exec</a>
+task, used to execute an external process, stands as a very
+basic example. The executed process may accept input, produce
+output, or do either or both depending upon various circumstances.
+Output may be classified as &quot;output&quot; or as &quot;error
+output.&quot; The <code>&lt;redirector&gt;</code> type provides a concrete means
+of redirecting input and output featuring the use of
+<a href="./mapper.html">File Mapper</a>s to specify
+source (input) and destination (output/error) files. <em>Since Apache Ant 1.6.2</em>
+<p>The <code>&lt;redirector&gt;</code> element accepts the following attributes:</p>
+<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">output</td>
+ <td valign="top">Name of a file to which output should be written.
+ If the error stream is not also redirected to a file or property,
+ it will appear in this output.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">error</td>
+ <td valign="top">The file to which the standard error of the
+ command should be redirected.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">logError</td>
+ <td valign="top">This attribute is used when you wish to see
+ error output in Ant's log and you are redirecting output to
+ a file/property. The error output will not be included in
+ the output file/property. If you redirect error with the
+ <i>error</i> or <i>errorProperty</i> attributes, this will
+ have no effect.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">append</td>
+ <td valign="top">Whether output and error files should be
+ appended to rather than overwritten. Defaults to
+ <code>false</code>.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">createemptyfiles</td>
+ <td valign="top">Whether output and error files should be
+ created even when empty. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">outputproperty</td>
+ <td valign="top">The name of a property in which the output of the
+ command should be stored. Unless the error stream is redirected
+ to a separate file or stream, this property will include the
+ error output.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">errorproperty</td>
+ <td valign="top">The name of a property in which the standard error
+ of the command should be stored.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">input</td>
+ <td valign="top">A file from which the executed command's standard input
+ is taken. This attribute is mutually exclusive with the
+ <i>inputstring</i> attribute.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">inputstring</td>
+ <td valign="top">A string which serves as the input stream for the
+ executed command. This attribute is mutually exclusive with the
+ <i>input</i> attribute.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">inputencoding</td>
+ <td valign="top">The input encoding.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>

+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">binaryOutput</td>
+ <td valign="top">When set to true Ant will not try to split the
+ output into lines - which it will usually do in order to separate
+ error from normal output. This setting will not prevent binary

+ </td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No, default is <code>false</code></td>

+<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
+<h4>inputmapper</h4>
+<p>A single <a href="./mapper.html">File Mapper</a> used to redirect process
+input. Multiple mapping results should concatenate all mapped files as input.
+Mapping will ordinarily be performed on a task-specified sourcefile;
+consult the documentation of the individual task for more details.
+A nested <code>&lt;inputmapper&gt;</code> is not compatible with either of the
+<i>input</i> or <i>inputstring</i> attributes.</p>
+<h4>outputmapper</h4>
+<p>A single <a href="./mapper.html">File Mapper</a> used to redirect process
+output. Mapping will ordinarily be performed on a task-specified sourcefile;
+consult the documentation of the individual task for more details.
+A nested <code>&lt;outputmapper&gt;</code> is not compatible with the
+<i>output</i> attribute.</p>
+<h4>errormapper</h4>
+<p>A single <a href="./mapper.html">File Mapper</a> used to redirect error
+output. Mapping will ordinarily be performed on a task-specified sourcefile;
+consult the documentation of the individual task for more details.
+A nested <code>&lt;errormapper&gt;</code> is not compatible with the
+<i>error</i> attribute.</p>
+<h4>inputfilterchain</h4>
+<p>A <a href="./filterchain.html">FilterChain</a> can be
+applied to the process input.</p>
+<h4>outputfilterchain</h4>
+<p>A <a href="./filterchain.html">FilterChain</a> can be
+applied to the process output.</p>
+<h4>errorfilterchain</h4>
+<p>A <a href="./filterchain.html">FilterChain</a> can be
+applied to the error output.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+Tasks known to support I/O redirection:
+<ul>
+<li><a href="../Tasks/exec.html">Exec</a></li>
+<li><a href="../Tasks/apply.html">Apply</a></li>
+<li><a href="../Tasks/java.html">Java</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>The expected behavior of a <code>&lt;redirector&gt;</code> is to a great degree
+dependent on the supporting task. Any possible points of confusion
+should be noted at the task level.</p>
