How to turn off "output to file" in postgresql

Question

The directive

\o <output_file>

sends subsequent outputs to the specified file. How can this be disabled - i.e. resume sending output to the terminal session instead of the file?

ah ok! i think I had figured that out in the past .. but did not have confidence to try that now.

The help doesn't mention that either, it only says how to enable file output.

you got your award absolutely as soon as possible (i was robo-clicking the ch eck-mark ;) )
