Temp File

Path: /src/method/tempfile.coffee compiled to /lib/method/tempfile.js

This will create a new temporary file for you. Like in tempdir() you may give a specific path and prefix before the numeral file part.

Examples

You may get a file back without doing anything:

CoffeeScript Code
fs = require 'alinex-fs'
fs.tempfile (err, dir) ->
  console.log "Temporary file is: " + dir

But don’t forget to remove it if no longer needed.

  • {base=os - String settings} path under which the directory should be created
