Seems to me that this is exactly what changes, when stdout is redirected to disk. But an fflush should always flush buffers, so a printf done before forking should not be written twice anymore.

fclose
FCLOSE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FCLOSE(3)
NAME
fclose - close a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fclose(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The fclose function dissociates the named stream from its underlying file or set of functions. If the stream was being used for output,
any buffered data is written first, using fflush(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, EOF is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. In
either case any further access (including another call to fclose()) to the stream results in undefined behaviour.
ERRORS
EBADF The filedescriptor underlying stream is not valid.
The fclose function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routines close(2), write(2) or fflush(3).
NOTES
Note that fclose only flushes the user space buffers provided by the C library. To ensure that the data is physically stored on disk the
kernel buffers must be flushed too, e.g. with sync(2) or fsync(2).
CONFORMING TO
The fclose function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
SEE ALSO
close(2), fcloseall(3), fflush(3), fopen(3), setbuf(3)
