Question

I write simple console functions and use freopen to redirect printf statements to a file. Can the output to the file be “turned off” and the printf outputs redirected back to the console window later in the code?

Answer 1

fprintf lets you to print to a specific file stream. For example,

fprintf(stdout, "message");

print message in the standard output (the console), so… as you see, printf is just an specialization of fprintf.

I hope this help.
