Both. Like any shell, eshell provides builtins and it is able to
invoke subprocesses. For example, you can type "find-file foo" as a
command to eshell, and eshell will then invoke the builtin find-file.
When eshell sees a redirect from a builtin, I think it would be most
efficient to produce the output in a buffer and write it with
write-region into the file.
When it is a matter of a subprocess, what could be useful is a feature
for start-process to specify files for additional descriptors.
That would be a completely different feature.
