If one uses freopen to temporarily use a file for which only the
stream pointer is available  (freopen(filename,access,FILE *)
is there any way to subsequently use freopen to go BACK to using
the original stream?  (This can probably be rephrased as "is there
a way to go from a stream pointer to the original file name").  

I have humbly did the required rituals - RTFM'd, asked local guru's,
and checked Unix Most Frequent Questions, but to save my ego in case
this is a stupid question "I Am Only Asking For A Friend".
