I'm not sure I understand.

Thepoint of using redirection is that your code doesn't need to know
anything about the files, it just reads/writes to/from stdin/stdout.

The OS connects the bits together at runtime.

So you can provide any name you like for inputfile
and outputfile when you execute the program.

If you want the program to read/write to a specific file then
use the standard open()/read/write functions

Or am I missing something?
