I checked the docs, and I'm a bit confused with one thing. They show that you can capture the stdout of a command into a variabe, but they never show stderr being captured. How would that work?

Like this: ‘’’ $mv file.txt dest.txt$ failed { echo "It seems that the file.txt does not exist" } ‘’’

Knowing if a command failed and capturing stderr (which contains stuff like error messages) are not the same thing.
