tmpfile(3S)
tmpfile, tmpfile64 --
create a temporary file
Synopsis
#include <stdio.h>
FILE tmpfile (void);
FILE tmpfile64 (void);
Description
tmpfile
creates a temporary file using a name generated by the
tmpnam(3S)
routine and returns a corresponding
FILE
pointer.
If the file cannot be opened, a
NULL
pointer is returned.
The file is automatically deleted when the process using it terminates
or when the file is closed.
The file is opened for update (``w+'').

Notices
Considerations for large file support
tmpfile64 supports large files, but is otherwise identical
to tmpfile.
For details on programming for large file capable applications, see
``Large File Support''
on intro(3).
