Presumably it depends on the operating system. Under Unix-like operating systems (eg. Linux), you can read the file not just if it's renamed, but even if it's deleted: an open filehandle refers to the file's data, not to its directory entry.

I'd expect the result to be operating system specific, and probably even file system specific. There are no guarantees by C.
