| michael@0 | 13 | * OpenAnonymousTemporaryFile |
| michael@0 | 14 | * |
| michael@0 | 15 | * Creates and opens a temporary file which has a random name. Callers have no |
| michael@0 | 16 | * control over the file name, and the file is opened in a temporary location |
| michael@0 | 17 | * which is appropriate for the platform. |
| michael@0 | 18 | * |
| michael@0 | 19 | * Upon success, aOutFileDesc contains an opened handle to the temporary file. |
| michael@0 | 20 | * The caller is responsible for closing the file when they're finished with it. |
| michael@0 | 21 | * |
| michael@0 | 22 | * The file will be deleted when the file handle is closed. On non-Windows |
| michael@0 | 23 | * platforms the file will be unlinked before this function returns. On Windows |
| michael@0 | 24 | * the OS supplied delete-on-close mechanism is unreliable if the application |
| michael@0 | 25 | * crashes or the computer power cycles unexpectedly, so unopened temporary |
| michael@0 | 26 | * files are purged at some time after application startup. |
