tmpfile

TMPFILE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							TMPFILE(3)

NAME

       tmpfile - create a temporary file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       FILE *tmpfile(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  tmpfile()  function  opens a unique temporary file in binary read/write (w+b) mode.  The file will be automatically deleted when it is
       closed or the program terminates.

RETURN VALUE

       The tmpfile() function returns a stream descriptor, or NULL if a unique filename cannot be generated or the unique file cannot  be  opened.
       In the latter case, errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       EACCES Search permission denied for directory in file's path prefix.

       EEXIST Unable to generate a unique filename.

       EINTR  The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7).

       EMFILE The per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.

       ENFILE The system-wide limit on the total number of open files has been reached.

       ENOSPC There was no room in the directory to add the new filename.

       EROFS  Read-only filesystem.

ATTRIBUTES

       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C89, C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD, SUSv2.

NOTES

       POSIX.1-2001 specifies: an error message may be written to stdout if the stream cannot be opened.

       The  standard does not specify the directory that tmpfile() will use.  Glibc will try the path prefix P_tmpdir defined in <stdio.h>, and if
       that fails the directory /tmp.
