Creation
On POSIX systems, temporary files can be safely created with the mkstemp
or tmpfile
library functions, or with the mktemp
program. These files are typically located in the standard temporary directory, /tmp on Unix machines or %TEMP% (which is log-in specific) on Windows machines.
A temporary file created with tmpfile
is deleted automatically when the program exits or the file is closed. To generate a temporary file name that will survive past the lifespan of the creating program, tmpnam
or GetTempFileName(...)
(Windows only) can be used.
