   mkdtemp.3p    ( 3 )

создать уникальный каталог или файл (create a unique directory or file)

Пролог (Prolog)

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

Имя (Name)

mkdtemp, mkstemp — create a unique directory or file

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <stdlib.h>

char *mkdtemp(char *template); int mkstemp(char *template);


Описание (Description)

The mkdtemp() function shall create a directory with a unique
       name derived from template.  The application shall ensure that
       the string provided in template is a pathname ending with at
       least six trailing 'X' characters. The mkdtemp() function shall
       modify the contents of template by replacing six or more 'X'
       characters at the end of the pathname with the same number of
       characters from the portable filename character set. The
       characters shall be chosen such that the resulting pathname does
       not duplicate the name of an existing file at the time of the
       call to mkdtemp().  The mkdtemp() function shall use the
       resulting pathname to create the new directory as if by a call
       to:

mkdir(pathname, S_IRWXU)

The mkstemp() function shall create a regular file with a unique name derived from template and return a file descriptor for the file open for reading and writing. The application shall ensure that the string provided in template is a pathname ending with at least six trailing 'X' characters. The mkstemp() function shall modify the contents of template by replacing six or more 'X' characters at the end of the pathname with the same number of characters from the portable filename character set. The characters shall be chosen such that the resulting pathname does not duplicate the name of an existing file at the time of the call to mkstemp(). The mkstemp() function shall use the resulting pathname to create the file, and obtain a file descriptor for it, as if by a call to:

open(pathname, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR)

By behaving as if the O_EXCL flag for open() is set, the function prevents any possible race condition between testing whether the file exists and opening it for use.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

Upon successful completion, the mkdtemp() function shall return
       the value of template.  Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer
       and shall set errno to indicate the error.

Upon successful completion, the mkstemp() function shall return an open file descriptor. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and shall set errno to indicate the error.


Ошибки (Error)

The mkdtemp() function shall fail if:

EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix, or write permission is denied on the parent directory of the directory to be created.

EINVAL The string pointed to by template does not end in "XXXXXX".

ELOOP A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the path of the directory to be created.

EMLINK The link count of the parent directory would exceed {LINK_MAX}.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a component of a pathname is longer than {NAME_MAX}.

ENOENT A component of the path prefix specified by the template argument does not name an existing directory.

ENOSPC The file system does not contain enough space to hold the contents of the new directory or to extend the parent directory of the new directory.

ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.

EROFS The parent directory resides on a read-only file system.

The mkdtemp() function may fail if:

ELOOP More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the path of the directory to be created.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result with a length that exceeds {PATH_MAX}.

The error conditions for the mkstemp() function are defined in open(3p).

The following sections are informative.


Примеры (Examples)

Generating a Pathname
       The following example creates a file with a 10-character name
       beginning with the characters "file" and opens the file for
       reading and writing. The value returned as the value of fd is a
       file descriptor that identifies the file.

#include <stdlib.h> ... char template[] = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX"; int fd;

fd = mkstemp(template);


Использование в приложениях (Application usage)

It is possible to run out of letters.

Portable applications should pass exactly six trailing 'X's in the template and no more; implementations may treat any additional trailing 'X's as either a fixed or replaceable part of the template. To be sure of only passing six, a fixed string of at least one non-'X' character should precede the six 'X's.

Since 'X' is in the portable filename character set, some of the replacement characters can be 'X's, leaving part (or even all) of the template effectively unchanged.
