=== Controlling library standard and error output
By default, any output from the library (e.g., after a *list* command) is written to 'stdout' and any error messages are written to 'stderr'.
To give applications control over them, there are functions to assign custom file pointers as well as having the library buffer what would be written for later retrieval in a static buffer.
