Description
POSIX temporary file and directory creation functions.
Synopsis
- mkstemp :: ByteString -> IO (RawFilePath, Handle)
- mkstemps :: ByteString -> ByteString -> IO (RawFilePath, Handle)
- mkdtemp :: ByteString -> IO RawFilePath
Documentation
mkstemp :: ByteString -> IO (RawFilePath, Handle) #
Make a unique filename and open it for reading/writing. The returned
 RawFilePath is the (possibly relative) path of the created file, which is
 padded with 6 random characters. The argument is the desired prefix of the
 filepath of the temporary file to be created.
If you aren't using GHC or Hugs then this function simply wraps mktemp and so shouldn't be considered safe.
mkstemps :: ByteString -> ByteString -> IO (RawFilePath, Handle) #
mkstemps - make a unique filename with a given prefix and suffix
 and open it for reading/writing (only safe on GHC & Hugs).
 The returned RawFilePath is the (possibly relative) path of
 the created file, which contains  6 random characters in between
 the prefix and suffix.
mkdtemp :: ByteString -> IO RawFilePath #
Make a unique directory. The returned RawFilePath is the path of the
 created directory, which is padded with 6 random characters. The argument is
 the desired prefix of the filepath of the temporary directory to be created.
If you aren't using GHC or Hugs then this function simply wraps mktemp and so shouldn't be considered safe.
