NAME

tmpfile − create a temporary file

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

FILE *tmpfile (void);

DESCRIPTION

The tmpfile() function generates a unique temporary filename using the path prefix P_tmpdir defined in <stdio.h>. The temporary file is then opened 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.

ERRORS

	EACCES		Search permission denied for directory in file’s path prefix.
	EEXIST		Unable to generate a unique filename.
	EMFILE		Too many file descriptors in use by process.
	ENFILE		Too many files open in system.
	EROFS		Read-only filesystem.
