DESCRIPTION

19       Re-open a file. This functions exactly like IO.open (3kaya) except that
20       rather than opening a new file, it changes  an  existing  file  handle.
21       This  is  mainly  useful  for re-opening the standard input, output and
22       error streams on a different file.
