Another way of interpreting the word reopen in that context

which you could write to using the usual stdio functions.

Whether that is possible I cannot tell you. I think freopen
might actually work in some implementations. But I wouldn't
rely on it.

I would. C99 says this:

The primary use of the freopen function is to change the file
associated with a standard text stream (stderr, stdin, or stdout),
as those identifiers need not be modifiable lvalues to which the
value returned by the fopen function may be assigned.
