>Programming Question about Regaining stdin/stdout</H3>
<p><strong>From Marco Mele on Wed, 22 Sep 1999

<!-- ::
Programming Question about Regaining stdin/stdout
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:: -->
<P><STRONG>
After a freopen() to redirect stdin or stdout,
how to get back the stdin to the keyboard and the
stdout to the screen?

It sounds like a C/C++ programming question.
I'm not a C programmer.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
However, I might try keeping my stdin and stdout
file handles and using an <tt>open()</tt> call on new
file handles for my other file operations. Then
you can perform the relaying yourself, and thus
control what data goes to each of these streams.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
I suppose you could save the value of your
current TTY (using the coding equivalent of the
'<tt>tty</tt>'(1) command; grab its sources for an example)
and re-open them later. (If this was a "do my homework"
question your assignment is going to be pretty late,
and probably wrong).
