FILE* freopen(const char* kcpPath, const char* kcpMode, FILE* qpStream);

Example

#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    char* cpFileName = "XoaX.txt";
    // Open an ASCII text file for reading and
    // redirect stdin to it.
    FILE* qpFile = freopen(cpFileName, "r", stdin);

    // Check that the file was opened successfully.
    if (!qpFile) {
        printf("Could not open %s\n",  cpFileName);
        return 1;
    }

    // Use stdin to read the first char of the file
    int iReturn = getchar();
    if (iReturn != EOF) {
        printf("Read in: %c\n", (char)iReturn);
    }
    fclose(qpFile);

    return 0;
