Std.Env.temporaryDirectory

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

Where this machine says a program may put a file it does not intend to keep.

The answer is the machine's, not the program's: it honours TMPDIR where

that is set, and names the system's own directory where it is not. A program

that writes /tmp directly has stated one machine's answer as though it

were every machine's, and will not run where that path does not exist.

The directory is where a file may go, not a file — a caller that needs one

joins a name it chose onto it, and one that may run twice at once chooses a

name that cannot collide.
