TMPFILE(2)TMPFILE(2)NAME
tmpfile, tmpnam - Stdio temporary files
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *tmpfile(void)
char *tmpnam(char *s)
DESCRIPTION
Tmpfile creates a temporary file that will automatically be removed
when the file is closed or the program exits. The return value is a
Stdio FILE* opened in update mode (see fopen(2)).
Tmpnam generates a string that is a valid file name and that is not the
same as the name of an existing file. If s is zero, it returns a
pointer to a string which may be overwritten by subsequent calls to
tmpnam. If s is non-zero, it should point to an array of at least
L_tmpnam (defined in <stdio.h>) characters, and the answer will be
copied there.
FILES

/tmp/tn000000000000
template for tmpnam file names.

BUGS
The files created by tmpfile are not removed until exits(2) is exe‐
cuted; in particular, they are not removed on fclose or if the program
terminates abnormally.
