We can get a file descriptor from a FILE* stream by using the fileno function. Is there a function for getting a FILE* stream from the file descriptor without reopening the file?

A:
FILE *fdopen(int fd, const char *mode);
See fdopen(3)
, but it should be on the same page as fopen(3)
The fdopen() function associates a stream with the existing file
descriptor, fd. The mode of the stream (one of the values "r", "r+",
"w", "w+", "a", "a+") must be compatible with the mode of the file
descriptor. The file position indicator of the new stream is set to
that belonging to fd, and the error and end-of-file indicators are
cleared. Modes "w" or "w+" do not cause truncation of the file. The
file descriptor is not dup’ed, and will be closed when the stream cre‐
ated by fdopen() is closed. The result of applying fdopen() to a
shared memory object is undefined.
