new_tmp


Description:

public static File new_tmp (string? tmpl, out FileIOStream iostream) throws Error

Opens a file in the preferred directory for temporary files (as returned by get_tmp_dir) and returns a File and FileIOStream pointing to it.

tmpl should be a string in the GLib file name encoding containing a sequence of six 'X' characters, and containing no directory components. If it is null, a default template is used.

Unlike the other File constructors, this will return null if a temporary file could not be created.

Parameters:

tmpl

Template for the file name, as in open_tmp, or null for a default template

iostream

on return, a FileIOStream for the created file

Returns:

a new File. Free the returned object with unref.
