If you're using a refactoring tool, and you chose to call the function to
rewrite the original files, that's a deliberate decision. Otherwise, you
can write out the modified files in whatever way you want.
If you're asking whether there's library support for writing files to a
different directory: no there isn't. Usually what people want to do is to
write the diffs / changes out, instead of the modified files, in that
case...
