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) Source #
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) Source #
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 Source #
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.
