Certainly STDIO allows this, but you need to be very careful. about doing it. Years ago, I would send a string down a serial line opened Read/Write, as an atomic write, and then immediately, sit on the line waiting for a reply on the same serial line. I was simply trying to retreive the Postscript handshake between the system and the printer which was a very small number of characters. Doing it with 2 FILEs is much smarter for the general case.
