Um, freopen()? From the C standard:
If filename is a null pointer, the freopen function attempts to
change the mode of the stream
MSVCRT Seems to not allow filename to be NULL
But we actually do not need a "portable way".
Windows is the only OS where such functionality is needed.
On other modern OSes there is no difference between text mode and binary mode,
so the new option should be simply ignored there.
