How to redirect output in octave?

[Edward C. Jones]

I would like to redirect the output of octave to the bit bucket. Here is 
my attempt:

stdout_real = stdout;
stdout = fopen("/dev/null", "wb");
printf("XXX\n");
fclose(stdout);
stdout = stdout_real;

"XXX" is still printed. How do I redirect stdout or stderr?
