[Help-bash] Where is the usage like "exec 3<> File" documented?

Hi,

Man bash says the following. But should "3<> File" be considered as command?

exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments]]
    If command is specified, it replaces the shell.

Man bash says "The redirection operator [n]<>word". So "3<> File" is
not a command.

How to understand "exec 3<> File" then?
