Functions
fn dir() str;
fn file(iomode: io::mode, mode: fs::mode) (io::file | fs::error);
fn named(fs: *fs::fs, path: str, iomode: io::mode, mode: fs::mode) ((io::file, str) | fs::error);
Functions
fn dir
fn dir() str;
Creates a temporary directory. This function only guarantees that the directory will have a unique name and be placed in the system temp directory, but not that it will be removed automatically; the caller must remove it when they're done using it via os::rmdir or os::rmdirall.
The return value is statically allocated and will be overwritten on subsequent calls.
fn file
fn file(iomode: io::mode, mode: fs::mode) (io::file | fs::error);
Creates an unnamed temporary file. The file may or may not have a name; not all systems support the creation of temporary inodes which are not linked to any directory. If it is necessary to create a real file, it will be removed when the stream is closed.
The I/O mode must be either io::mode::WRITE or io::mode::RDWR.
fn named
fn named(fs: *fs::fs, path: str, iomode: io::mode, mode: fs::mode) ((io::file, str) | fs::error);
Creates a named temporary file in the given directory of the given filesystem. The caller is responsible for closing and removing the file when they're done with it. The name is statically allocated, and will be overwritten on subsequent calls.
The I/O mode must be either io::mode::WRITE or io::mode::RDWR.
