Stderr is file descriptor 2, thus:

command 2>/path/to/file

Or for both stdout (1) and stderr:

command >/path/to/file 2>&1

And by the way, I wouldn't consider that a 'command to redirect'.  It
is just the syntax for the shell that parses every command line.  If
you don't specify where to connect standard I/O the file descriptors are
inherited from the parent process.
