Yes sir!  From the 1990 standard, section 7.9.3 (Files):

    At program startup, three text streams are predefined and need not 
    be opened explicitly -- _standard input_ (for reading conventional 
    input), _standard output_ (for writing conventional output), and 
    _standard error_ (for writing diagnostic output). . . .
