   1: int save_out = dup(fileno(stdout));//backup stdout

   2: int out = open("cout.log", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0600);

   3: int  nRet;

   4: fflush(stdout);

   5: dup2(out, fileno(stdout));// redirect stdout to out

   8: printf("Hello world!");

  10: fflush(stdout);close(out);close(stdout);

  11: dup2(save_out, fileno(stdout));//return the backup
