NAME
       tmpfile, tmpnam - Stdio temporary files

SYNOPSIS
       #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/tf000000000000
	      template for tmpfile file names.

       /tmp/tn000000000000
	      template for tmpnam file names.

SOURCE
       /sys/src/libstdio

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