Then I do not understand the description:

"FILE *freopen(const char *filename, const char *mode, FILE *file);

Description

This function closes file if it was open, then opens a new file like
fopen(filename, mode) (see section fopen) but it reuses file."

I read this description that the third parameter of freopen is closed,
in my example it is stdout. The resulting handle is associated with
stdout.dat and I do not see that this gets closed.
