The C standard library provides stderr as the standard error file. It is an output file, much like stdout, except it cannot be redirected via the command line. By default, error messages via stderr are output to the console, the same as the undirected stdout. However, the programmer may choose to redirect stderr to a disk file or allow the user to choose a location via command line switches. Although error messages can also be output to stdout (or indeed to any output stream), it is best to keep error messages separate from the standard output stream. For instance, the user may choose to redirect standard output to a disk file or to the input stream of another program, while error messages are directed to the console.
