1 declaration

fn

temporaryFileIn: Str -> Str -> Result[Str, Std.Fs.FsError]

This is a callable function.

What it does

A new empty file in a directory, under a name no other process holds.

Created and named in one step by the operating system, so there is no gap

between choosing a name and claiming it for another program to fill.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
