Yes. It's the same as malloc/free. You need to use the various FILE 
functions (fopen and such) coming from the CRT. Or better, if you obtain a 
FILE pointer from a CRT X, you need to use to call the FILE functions coming 
from that specific CRT X on *that* FILE pointer. I'm not sure about file 
descriptors (_open), but I think it's the same. I'd check on the MSDN docs 
to be sure.

Have a nice day
