TMPFILE(3S-SVR3)    RISC/os Reference Manual     TMPFILE(3S-SVR3)



NAME
     tmpfile - create a temporary file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

     FILE *tmpfile ()

DESCRIPTION
     tmpfile creates a temporary file using a name generated by
     tmpnam(3S), and returns a corresponding FILE pointer.  If
     the file cannot be opened, an error message is printed using
     perror(3C), and a NULL pointer is returned.  The file will
     automatically be deleted when the process using it ter-
     minates.  The file is opened for update ("w+").

     creat(2), unlink(2), fopen(3S), mktemp(3C), perror(3C),
     stdio(3S), tmpnam(3S).
