behavior of io:format() in spawn'ed process

[Serge Aleynikov]

As a continuation of this question - is it possible to redirect that I/O 
to a remote C node?

Example:

host1:
$ erl -sname t

host2:
$ erl_call -sname t@REDACTED -a 'io format [user, "abc\n", []]'
ok

The result of this call is displayed in the shell on t@REDACTED  Is there 
a way using EI to get that output captured by the C program on host2?
