Maybe this:
If there is no command name, any redirections shall be performed in
a subshell environment; it is unspecified whether this subshell
environment is the same one as that used for a command substitution
within the command. (To affect the current execution environment,
see the exec special built-in.) If any of the redirections performed
in the current shell execution environment fail, the command shall
immediately fail with an exit status greater than zero, and the
shell shall write an error message indicating the failure. See
Consequences of Shell Errors for the consequences of these failures
on interactive and non-interactive shells.
