tmpfile(), tmpfile64() -- create temporary binary file

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

FILE *tmpfile(void);

FILE *tmpfile64(void);

The tmpfile() function creates a temporary binary file that is automatically removed when it is closed or at program termination. The file is opened as in fopen() for update, in binary mode (that is, "wb+").

The tmpfile64() function is identical to the tmpfile() function except that the file is created with the O_LARGFILE flag set. The tmpfile64() function is a part of the large file extensions.

PARAMETERS

None.

RETURN VALUES

The tmpfile() or tmpfile64() functions returns a pointer to the stream of the file that it created. If the file cannot be created, tmpfile() or tmpfile64() returns a null pointer.

CONFORMANCE

ANSI/ISO 9899-1990.

tmpfile64(): Large File Specification, revision 1.5.

MULTITHREAD SAFETY LEVEL

MT-Safe.

PORTING ISSUES

If the temporary file is in text mode, then linefeed is translated into carriage-return linefeed on output. If the temporary file is open in binary mode, then no such translation occurs. The NuTCRACKER Platform initially opens the file in binary mode.
