11This section is at the top in order to provide easier access to
12porters. It is not expected to be rendered by a standard pod
13formatting tool. Please skip straight to the SYNOPSIS section if you
14are not trying to port this module to a new platform.

16This module is designed to be portable across operating systems and it
17currently supports Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows and Mac OS
18(Classic). When porting to a new OS there are generally three main
19issues that have to be solved:

28d6a1e0 25Can the OS unlink an open file? If it can not then the
e77f578c

26C<_can_unlink_opened_file> method should be modified.

28=item *
29
30Are the return values from C<stat> reliable? By default all the
31return values from C<stat> are compared when unlinking a temporary
32file using the filename and the handle. Operating systems other than
33unix do not always have valid entries in all fields. If C<unlink0> fails
34then the C<stat> comparison should be modified accordingly.
35

37
38Security. Systems that can not support a test for the sticky bit
39on a directory can not use the MEDIUM and HIGH security tests.
40The C<_can_do_level> method should be modified accordingly.

106=head1 DESCRIPTION
107
4a094b80
JH
108C<File::Temp> can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe
109way. There is both a function interface and an object-oriented
110interface. The File::Temp constructor or the tempfile() function can
111be used to return the name and the open filehandle of a temporary
112file. The tempdir() function can be used to create a temporary
113directory.
262eb13a
GS
114
115The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that
781948c1
JH
116a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee
117that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is
118created by another process between checking for the existence of the
119file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to
120check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable
121directories. See L<"safe_level"> for more information.
262eb13a
GS
122
123For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of
124the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(),
125mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp().
126
127Additionally, implementations of the standard L<POSIX|POSIX>
128tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required.
129
130Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided,
131but should be used with caution since they return only a filename
132that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee
133that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename.
134
b0ad0448
SP
135Filehandles returned by these functions support the seekable methods.

05fb677a 967=head1 OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE
4a094b80
JH
968
969This is the primary interface for interacting with
970C<File::Temp>. Using the OO interface a temporary file can be created
971when the object is constructed and the file can be removed when the
972object is no longer required.
973
974Note that there is no method to obtain the filehandle from the
975C<File::Temp> object. The object itself acts as a filehandle. Also,
976the object is configured such that it stringifies to the name of the
0dae80a2
SP
977temporary file, and can be compared to a filename directly. The object
978isa C<IO::Handle> and isa C<IO::Seekable> so all those methods are
979available.

986
b0ad0448 987 my $tmp = File::Temp->new();
4a094b80
JH
988
989by default the object is constructed as if C<tempfile>
990was called without options, but with the additional behaviour
991that the temporary file is removed by the object destructor
992if UNLINK is set to true (the default).
993
994Supported arguments are the same as for C<tempfile>: UNLINK
b0ad0448 995(defaulting to true), DIR, EXLOCK and SUFFIX. Additionally, the filename
4a094b80
JH
996template is specified using the TEMPLATE option. The OPEN option
997is not supported (the file is always opened).
998
b0ad0448 999 $tmp = File::Temp->new( TEMPLATE => 'tempXXXXX',
4a094b80

1196
1197This section describes the recommended interface for generating
1198temporary files and directories.
1199
1200=over 4
1201
1202=item B<tempfile>
1203
1204This is the basic function to generate temporary files.
1205The behaviour of the file can be changed using various options:
1206
05fb677a 1207 $fh = tempfile();
262eb13a
GS
1208 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile();
1209
1210Create a temporary file in the directory specified for temporary
1211files, as specified by the tmpdir() function in L<File::Spec>.
1212
1213 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template);
1214
1215Create a temporary file in the current directory using the supplied
1216template. Trailing `X' characters are replaced with random letters to
1217generate the filename. At least four `X' characters must be present
4a094b80 1218at the end of the template.
262eb13a
GS
1219
1220 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, SUFFIX => $suffix)
1221
1222Same as previously, except that a suffix is added to the template
1223after the `X' translation. Useful for ensuring that a temporary
1224filename has a particular extension when needed by other applications.
1225But see the WARNING at the end.
1226
1227 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
1228
1229Translates the template as before except that a directory name
1230is specified.
1231
b0ad0448
SP
1232 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, TMPDIR => 1);
1233
1234Equivalent to specifying a DIR of "File::Spec->tmpdir", writing the file
1235into the same temporary directory as would be used if no template was
1236specified at all.
1237
51fc852f
TJ
1238 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, UNLINK => 1);
1239
1240Return the filename and filehandle as before except that the file is
05fb677a
RGS
1241automatically removed when the program exits (dependent on
1242$KEEP_ALL). Default is for the file to be removed if a file handle is
1243requested and to be kept if the filename is requested. In a scalar
1244context (where no filename is returned) the file is always deleted
1245either (depending on the operating system) on exit or when it is
1246closed (unless $KEEP_ALL is true when the temp file is created).
1247
1248Use the object-oriented interface if fine-grained control of when
1249a file is removed is required.
51fc852f 1250
262eb13a
GS
1251If the template is not specified, a template is always
1252automatically generated. This temporary file is placed in tmpdir()
be708cc0 1253(L<File::Spec>) unless a directory is specified explicitly with the
262eb13a
GS
1254DIR option.
1255
b0ad0448 1256 $fh = tempfile( DIR => $dir );
262eb13a 1257
05fb677a
RGS
1258If called in scalar context, only the filehandle is returned and the
1259file will automatically be deleted when closed on operating systems
1260that support this (see the description of tmpfile() elsewhere in this
1261document). This is the preferred mode of operation, as if you only
1262have a filehandle, you can never create a race condition by fumbling
1263with the filename. On systems that can not unlink an open file or can
1264not mark a file as temporary when it is opened (for example, Windows
1265NT uses the C<O_TEMPORARY> flag) the file is marked for deletion when
1266the program ends (equivalent to setting UNLINK to 1). The C<UNLINK>
1267flag is ignored if present.
09d7a2f9 1268
262eb13a
GS
1269 (undef, $filename) = tempfile($template, OPEN => 0);
1270
1271This will return the filename based on the template but
1272will not open this file. Cannot be used in conjunction with
be708cc0 1273UNLINK set to true. Default is to always open the file
262eb13a
GS
1274to protect from possible race conditions. A warning is issued
1275if warnings are turned on. Consider using the tmpnam()
1276and mktemp() functions described elsewhere in this document
1277if opening the file is not required.
1278
b0ad0448
SP
1279If the operating system supports it (for example BSD derived systems), the
1280filehandle will be opened with O_EXLOCK (open with exclusive file lock).
1281This can sometimes cause problems if the intention is to pass the filename
1282to another system that expects to take an exclusive lock itself (such as
1283DBD::SQLite) whilst ensuring that the tempfile is not reused. In this
1284situation the "EXLOCK" option can be passed to tempfile. By default EXLOCK
1285will be true (this retains compatibility with earlier releases).
1286
1287 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, EXLOCK => 0);
1288
51fc852f

1289Options can be combined as required.

1423This is the recommended interface for creation of temporary
1424directories. By default the directory will not be removed on exit
1425(that is, it won't be temporary; this behaviour can not be changed
1426because of issues with backwards compatibility). To enable removal
1427either use the CLEANUP option which will trigger removal on program
1428exit, or consider using the "newdir" method in the object interface which
1429will allow the directory to be cleaned up when the object goes out of
1430scope.
1431

1440Create a directory from the supplied template. This template is
1441similar to that described for tempfile(). `X' characters at the end
1442of the template are replaced with random letters to construct the
1443directory name. At least four `X' characters must be in the template.
1444
1445 $tempdir = tempdir ( DIR => $dir );
1446
1447Specifies the directory to use for the temporary directory.
1448The temporary directory name is derived from an internal template.
1449
1450 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => $dir );
1451
1452Prepend the supplied directory name to the template. The template
1453should not include parent directory specifications itself. Any parent
1454directory specifications are removed from the template before
1455prepending the supplied directory.
1456

1460a standard location for temporary files. Equivalent to doing

1463
1464but shorter. Parent directory specifications are stripped from the
1465template itself. The C<TMPDIR> option is ignored if C<DIR> is set
1466explicitly. Additionally, C<TMPDIR> is implied if neither a template
1467nor a directory are supplied.

1474the directory even if they were not created by this module (otherwise
1475why ask to clean it up?). The directory removal is made with
1476the rmtree() function from the L<File::Path|File::Path> module.
1477Of course, if the template is not specified, the temporary directory
1478will be created in tmpdir() and will also be removed at program exit.

1758This section describes the re-implementation of the tmpnam()
be708cc0 1759and tmpfile() functions described in L<POSIX>
262eb13a
GS
1760using the mkstemp() from this module.
1761
1762Unlike the L<POSIX|POSIX> implementations, the directory used
1763for the temporary file is not specified in a system include
1764file (C<P_tmpdir>) but simply depends on the choice of tmpdir()
1765returned by L<File::Spec|File::Spec>. On some implementations this
1766location can be set using the C<TMPDIR> environment variable, which
1767may not be secure.
1768If this is a problem, simply use mkstemp() and specify a template.
1769

1773
1774When called in scalar context, returns the full name (including path)
1775of a temporary file (uses mktemp()). The only check is that the file does
1776not already exist, but there is no guarantee that that condition will
1777continue to apply.
1778
1779 $file = tmpnam();
1780
1781When called in list context, a filehandle to the open file and
1782a filename are returned. This is achieved by calling mkstemp()
1783after constructing a suitable template.
1784
1785 ($fh, $file) = tmpnam();

1787If possible, this form should be used to prevent possible

1901
1902=item B<unlink0>
1903
1904Given an open filehandle and the associated filename, make a safe
1905unlink. This is achieved by first checking that the filename and
1906filehandle initially point to the same file and that the number of
1907links to the file is 1 (all fields returned by stat() are compared).
1908Then the filename is unlinked and the filehandle checked once again to
1909verify that the number of links on that file is now 0. This is the
1910closest you can come to making sure that the filename unlinked was the
1911same as the file whose descriptor you hold.

1916Returns false on error but croaks() if there is a security
1917anomaly. The filehandle is not closed since on some occasions this is
1918not required.
262eb13a
GS
1919
1920On some platforms, for example Windows NT, it is not possible to
1921unlink an open file (the file must be closed first). On those
1c19c868
JH
1922platforms, the actual unlinking is deferred until the program ends and
1923good status is returned. A check is still performed to make sure that
1924the filehandle and filename are pointing to the same thing (but not at
1925the time the end block is executed since the deferred removal may not
1926have access to the filehandle).
262eb13a
GS
1927
1928Additionally, on Windows NT not all the fields returned by stat() can
51fc852f
TJ
1929be compared. For example, the C<dev> and C<rdev> fields seem to be
1930different. Also, it seems that the size of the file returned by stat()
262eb13a
GS
1931does not always agree, with C<stat(FH)> being more accurate than
1932C<stat(filename)>, presumably because of caching issues even when
1933using autoflush (this is usually overcome by waiting a while after
1934writing to the tempfile before attempting to C<unlink0> it).
1935
1c19c868
JH
1936Finally, on NFS file systems the link count of the file handle does
1937not always go to zero immediately after unlinking. Currently, this
1938command is expected to fail on NFS disks.
1939

1940This function is disabled if the global variable $KEEP_ALL is true

2162=item STANDARD

2164Do the basic security measures to ensure the directory exists and is
2165writable, that temporary files are opened only if they do not already
2166exist, and that possible race conditions are avoided. Finally the
2167L<unlink0|"unlink0"> function is used to remove files safely.
262eb13a
GS
2168
2169=item MEDIUM
2170
2171In addition to the STANDARD security, the output directory is checked
2172to make sure that it is owned either by root or the user running the
2173program. If the directory is writable by group or by other, it is then
2174checked to make sure that the sticky bit is set.
2175
2176Will not work on platforms that do not support the C<-k> test
2177for sticky bit.
2178
2179=item HIGH
2180
2181In addition to the MEDIUM security checks, also check for the
2182possibility of ``chown() giveaway'' using the L<POSIX|POSIX>
2183sysconf() function. If this is a possibility, each directory in the
be708cc0 2184path is checked in turn for safeness, recursively walking back to the
262eb13a
GS
2185root directory.
2186
2187For platforms that do not support the L<POSIX|POSIX>
be708cc0 2188C<_PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED> symbol (for example, Windows NT) it is

2195
2196 File::Temp->safe_level( File::Temp::HIGH );
2197
2198The level constants are not exported by the module.
2199
2200Currently, you must be running at least perl v5.6.0 in order to
be708cc0 2201run with MEDIUM or HIGH security. This is simply because the
262eb13a
GS
2202safety tests use functions from L<Fcntl|Fcntl> that are not
2203available in older versions of perl. The problem is that the version
2204number for Fcntl is the same in perl 5.6.0 and in 5.005_03 even though
1c19c868
JH
2205they are different versions.
2206
2207On systems that do not support the HIGH or MEDIUM safety levels
2208(for example Win NT or OS/2) any attempt to change the level will
2209be ignored. The decision to ignore rather than raise an exception
2210allows portable programs to be written with high security in mind
2211for the systems that can support this without those programs failing
2212on systems where the extra tests are irrelevant.
2213

2330Some problems are associated with using temporary files that reside
2331on NFS file systems and it is recommended that a local filesystem
2332is used whenever possible. Some of the security tests will most probably
2333fail when the temp file is not local. Additionally, be aware that
2334the performance of I/O operations over NFS will not be as good as for
2335a local disk.

RGS
2337=head2 Forking
2338
2339In some cases files created by File::Temp are removed from within an
2340END block. Since END blocks are triggered when a child process exits
2341(unless C<POSIX::_exit()> is used by the child) File::Temp takes care
2342to only remove those temp files created by a particular process ID. This
2343means that a child will not attempt to remove temp files created by the
2344parent process.
2345
5d0b10e0
SP
2346If you are forking many processes in parallel that are all creating
2347temporary files, you may need to reset the random number seed using
2348srand(EXPR) in each child else all the children will attempt to walk
2349through the same set of random file names and may well cause
2350themselves to give up if they exceed the number of retry attempts.

2368
2369Originally began life in May 1999 as an XS interface to the system
e77f578c 2370mkstemp() function. In March 2000, the OpenBSD mkstemp() code was
262eb13a
GS
2371translated to Perl for total control of the code's
2372security checking, to ensure the presence of the function regardless of
05fb677a
RGS
2373operating system and to help with portability. The module was shipped
2374as a standard part of perl from v5.6.1.
