As you indicate, the standard docs for   fp = freopen(stdout)   have    flcose(stdout)   whereas the MS documentation has   fclose(fp). On my Windows machine it looked like (fp == stdout) anyway but i don't know if that is guaranteed to always be the case, however the linux docs for freopen(stdout) say it should return stdout (or NULL on error) so hopefully fclose(fp) is thus safe everywhere. 

@mdavidsaver I also found the MS example a little strange, it did stream=freopen(stderr) and then wrote to stream rather than stderr, which seemed to defeat the point of using freopen() rather than fopen()
