05fb677a 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:
e77f578c 20
21=over 4
22
23=item *
24
28d6a1e0 25Can the OS unlink an open file? If it can not then the
e77f578c 26C<_can_unlink_opened_file> method should be modified.
27
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
36=item *
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.

262eb13a 104=head1 DESCRIPTION
105
4a094b80 106C<File::Temp> can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe
107way. There is both a function interface and an object-oriented
108interface. The File::Temp constructor or the tempfile() function can
109be used to return the name and the open filehandle of a temporary
110file. The tempdir() function can be used to create a temporary
111directory.
262eb13a 112
113The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that
781948c1 114a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee
115that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is
116created by another process between checking for the existence of the
117file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to
118check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable
119directories. See L<"safe_level"> for more information.
262eb13a 120
121For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of
122the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(),
123mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp().
124
125Additionally, implementations of the standard L<POSIX|POSIX>
126tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required.
127
128Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided,
129but should be used with caution since they return only a filename
130that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee
131that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename.

4a094b80 958
959This is the primary interface for interacting with
960C<File::Temp>. Using the OO interface a temporary file can be created
961when the object is constructed and the file can be removed when the
962object is no longer required.
963
964Note that there is no method to obtain the filehandle from the
965C<File::Temp> object. The object itself acts as a filehandle. Also,
966the object is configured such that it stringifies to the name of the
0dae80a2 967temporary file, and can be compared to a filename directly. The object
968isa C<IO::Handle> and isa C<IO::Seekable> so all those methods are
969available.
4a094b80 970
971=over 4
972
973=item B<new>
974
975Create a temporary file object.
976
977 my $tmp = new File::Temp();
978
979by default the object is constructed as if C<tempfile>
980was called without options, but with the additional behaviour
981that the temporary file is removed by the object destructor
982if UNLINK is set to true (the default).
983
984Supported arguments are the same as for C<tempfile>: UNLINK
985(defaulting to true), DIR and SUFFIX. Additionally, the filename
986template is specified using the TEMPLATE option. The OPEN option
987is not supported (the file is always opened).
988
989 $tmp = new File::Temp( TEMPLATE => 'tempXXXXX',
990 DIR => 'mydir',
991 SUFFIX => '.dat');
992
993Arguments are case insensitive.

262eb13a 1111=head1 FUNCTIONS
1112
1113This section describes the recommended interface for generating
1114temporary files and directories.
1115
1116=over 4
1117
1118=item B<tempfile>
1119
1120This is the basic function to generate temporary files.
1121The behaviour of the file can be changed using various options:
1122
05fb677a 1123 $fh = tempfile();
262eb13a 1124 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile();
1125
1126Create a temporary file in the directory specified for temporary
1127files, as specified by the tmpdir() function in L<File::Spec>.
1128
1129 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template);
1130
1131Create a temporary file in the current directory using the supplied
1132template. Trailing `X' characters are replaced with random letters to
1133generate the filename. At least four `X' characters must be present
4a094b80 1134at the end of the template.
262eb13a 1135
1136 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, SUFFIX => $suffix)
1137
1138Same as previously, except that a suffix is added to the template
1139after the `X' translation. Useful for ensuring that a temporary
1140filename has a particular extension when needed by other applications.
1141But see the WARNING at the end.
1142
1143 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
1144
1145Translates the template as before except that a directory name
1146is specified.
1147
51fc852f 1148 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, UNLINK => 1);
1149
1150Return the filename and filehandle as before except that the file is
05fb677a 1151automatically removed when the program exits (dependent on
1152$KEEP_ALL). Default is for the file to be removed if a file handle is
1153requested and to be kept if the filename is requested. In a scalar
1154context (where no filename is returned) the file is always deleted
1155either (depending on the operating system) on exit or when it is
1156closed (unless $KEEP_ALL is true when the temp file is created).
1157
1158Use the object-oriented interface if fine-grained control of when
1159a file is removed is required.
51fc852f 1160
262eb13a 1161If the template is not specified, a template is always
1162automatically generated. This temporary file is placed in tmpdir()
be708cc0 1163(L<File::Spec>) unless a directory is specified explicitly with the
262eb13a 1164DIR option.
1165
1166 $fh = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir );
1167
05fb677a 1168If called in scalar context, only the filehandle is returned and the
1169file will automatically be deleted when closed on operating systems
1170that support this (see the description of tmpfile() elsewhere in this
1171document). This is the preferred mode of operation, as if you only
1172have a filehandle, you can never create a race condition by fumbling
1173with the filename. On systems that can not unlink an open file or can
1174not mark a file as temporary when it is opened (for example, Windows
1175NT uses the C<O_TEMPORARY> flag) the file is marked for deletion when
1176the program ends (equivalent to setting UNLINK to 1). The C<UNLINK>
1177flag is ignored if present.
09d7a2f9 1178
262eb13a 1179 (undef, $filename) = tempfile($template, OPEN => 0);
1180
1181This will return the filename based on the template but
1182will not open this file. Cannot be used in conjunction with
be708cc0 1183UNLINK set to true. Default is to always open the file
262eb13a 1184to protect from possible race conditions. A warning is issued
1185if warnings are turned on. Consider using the tmpnam()
1186and mktemp() functions described elsewhere in this document
1187if opening the file is not required.
1188
51fc852f 1189Options can be combined as required.

1312
1313=item B<tempdir>
1314
1315This is the recommended interface for creation of temporary directories.
1316The behaviour of the function depends on the arguments:
1317
1318 $tempdir = tempdir();
1319
1320Create a directory in tmpdir() (see L<File::Spec|File::Spec>).
1321
1322 $tempdir = tempdir( $template );
1323
1324Create a directory from the supplied template. This template is
1325similar to that described for tempfile(). `X' characters at the end
1326of the template are replaced with random letters to construct the
1327directory name. At least four `X' characters must be in the template.
1328
1329 $tempdir = tempdir ( DIR => $dir );
1330
1331Specifies the directory to use for the temporary directory.
1332The temporary directory name is derived from an internal template.
1333
1334 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => $dir );
1335
1336Prepend the supplied directory name to the template. The template
1337should not include parent directory specifications itself. Any parent
1338directory specifications are removed from the template before
1339prepending the supplied directory.
1340
1341 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, TMPDIR => 1 );
1342
be708cc0 1343Using the supplied template, create the temporary directory in
262eb13a 1344a standard location for temporary files. Equivalent to doing
1345
1346 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir);
1347
1348but shorter. Parent directory specifications are stripped from the
1349template itself. The C<TMPDIR> option is ignored if C<DIR> is set
1350explicitly. Additionally, C<TMPDIR> is implied if neither a template
1351nor a directory are supplied.
1352
1353 $tempdir = tempdir( $template, CLEANUP => 1);
1354
be708cc0 1355Create a temporary directory using the supplied template, but
262eb13a 1356attempt to remove it (and all files inside it) when the program
1357exits. Note that an attempt will be made to remove all files from
1358the directory even if they were not created by this module (otherwise
1359why ask to clean it up?). The directory removal is made with
1360the rmtree() function from the L<File::Path|File::Path> module.
1361Of course, if the template is not specified, the temporary directory
1362will be created in tmpdir() and will also be removed at program exit.
1363

1641
1642This section describes the re-implementation of the tmpnam()
be708cc0 1643and tmpfile() functions described in L<POSIX>
262eb13a 1644using the mkstemp() from this module.
1645
1646Unlike the L<POSIX|POSIX> implementations, the directory used
1647for the temporary file is not specified in a system include
1648file (C<P_tmpdir>) but simply depends on the choice of tmpdir()
1649returned by L<File::Spec|File::Spec>. On some implementations this
1650location can be set using the C<TMPDIR> environment variable, which
1651may not be secure.
1652If this is a problem, simply use mkstemp() and specify a template.
1653
1654=over 4
1655
1656=item B<tmpnam>
1657
1658When called in scalar context, returns the full name (including path)
1659of a temporary file (uses mktemp()). The only check is that the file does
1660not already exist, but there is no guarantee that that condition will
1661continue to apply.
1662
1663 $file = tmpnam();
1664
1665When called in list context, a filehandle to the open file and
1666a filename are returned. This is achieved by calling mkstemp()
1667after constructing a suitable template.
1668
1669 ($fh, $file) = tmpnam();
1670
1671If possible, this form should be used to prevent possible
1672race conditions.

1675directory for a particular operating system.

1782Useful functions for dealing with the filehandle and filename.
1783
1784=over 4
1785
1786=item B<unlink0>
1787
1788Given an open filehandle and the associated filename, make a safe
1789unlink. This is achieved by first checking that the filename and
1790filehandle initially point to the same file and that the number of
1791links to the file is 1 (all fields returned by stat() are compared).
1792Then the filename is unlinked and the filehandle checked once again to
1793verify that the number of links on that file is now 0. This is the
1794closest you can come to making sure that the filename unlinked was the
1795same as the file whose descriptor you hold.
1796
05fb677a 1797 unlink0($fh, $path)
1798 or die "Error unlinking file $path safely";
262eb13a 1799
5d0b10e0 1800Returns false on error but croaks() if there is a security
1801anomaly. The filehandle is not closed since on some occasions this is
1802not required.
262eb13a 1803
1804On some platforms, for example Windows NT, it is not possible to
1805unlink an open file (the file must be closed first). On those
1c19c868 1806platforms, the actual unlinking is deferred until the program ends and
1807good status is returned. A check is still performed to make sure that
1808the filehandle and filename are pointing to the same thing (but not at
1809the time the end block is executed since the deferred removal may not
1810have access to the filehandle).
262eb13a 1811
1812Additionally, on Windows NT not all the fields returned by stat() can
51fc852f 1813be compared. For example, the C<dev> and C<rdev> fields seem to be
1814different. Also, it seems that the size of the file returned by stat()
262eb13a 1815does not always agree, with C<stat(FH)> being more accurate than
1816C<stat(filename)>, presumably because of caching issues even when
1817using autoflush (this is usually overcome by waiting a while after
1818writing to the tempfile before attempting to C<unlink0> it).
1819
1c19c868 1820Finally, on NFS file systems the link count of the file handle does
1821not always go to zero immediately after unlinking. Currently, this
1822command is expected to fail on NFS disks.
1823
05fb677a 1824This function is disabled if the global variable $KEEP_ALL is true
1825and an unlink on open file is supported. If the unlink is to be deferred
1826to the END block, the file is still registered for removal.
1827
5d0b10e0 1828This function should not be called if you are using the object oriented
1829interface since the it will interfere with the object destructor deleting
1830the file.

2044=over 8
2045
2046=item STANDARD
2047
2048Do the basic security measures to ensure the directory exists and

2050that temporary files are opened only if they do not already exist, and
2051that possible race conditions are avoided. Finally the L<unlink0|"unlink0">
2052function is used to remove files safely.
2053
2054=item MEDIUM
2055
2056In addition to the STANDARD security, the output directory is checked
2057to make sure that it is owned either by root or the user running the
2058program. If the directory is writable by group or by other, it is then
2059checked to make sure that the sticky bit is set.
2060
2061Will not work on platforms that do not support the C<-k> test
2062for sticky bit.
2063

2065
2066In addition to the MEDIUM security checks, also check for the
2067possibility of ``chown() giveaway'' using the L<POSIX|POSIX>
2068sysconf() function. If this is a possibility, each directory in the
be708cc0 2069path is checked in turn for safeness, recursively walking back to the
262eb13a 2070root directory.
2071
2072For platforms that do not support the L<POSIX|POSIX>
be708cc0 2073C<_PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED> symbol (for example, Windows NT) it is
262eb13a 2074assumed that ``chown() giveaway'' is possible and the recursive test

2084
2085Currently, you must be running at least perl v5.6.0 in order to
be708cc0 2086run with MEDIUM or HIGH security. This is simply because the
262eb13a 2087safety tests use functions from L<Fcntl|Fcntl> that are not
2088available in older versions of perl. The problem is that the version
2089number for Fcntl is the same in perl 5.6.0 and in 5.005_03 even though
1c19c868 2090they are different versions.
2091
2092On systems that do not support the HIGH or MEDIUM safety levels
2093(for example Win NT or OS/2) any attempt to change the level will
2094be ignored. The decision to ignore rather than raise an exception
2095allows portable programs to be written with high security in mind
2096for the systems that can support this without those programs failing
2097on systems where the extra tests are irrelevant.
2098
2099If you really need to see whether the change has been accepted
2100simply examine the return value of C<safe_level>.

2132=item TopSystemUID
2133
2134This is the highest UID on the current system that refers to a root
be708cc0 2135UID. This is used to make sure that the temporary directory is
2136owned by a system UID (C<root>, C<bin>, C<sys> etc) rather than
262eb13a 2137simply by root.
2138
2139This is required since on many unix systems C</tmp> is not owned
2140by root.
2141
2142Default is to assume that any UID less than or equal to 10 is a root
2143UID.
2144
2145 File::Temp->top_system_uid(10);
2146 my $topid = File::Temp->top_system_uid;
2147
2148This value can be adjusted to reduce security checking if required.
2149The value is only relevant when C<safe_level> is set to MEDIUM or higher.

2170Controls whether temporary files and directories should be retained

2177Default is for files to be removed as requested by the caller.
2178
2179In some cases, files will only be retained if this variable is true
2180when the file is created. This means that you can not create a temporary
2181file, set this variable and expect the temp file to still be around
2182when the program exits.

262eb13a 2194=head1 WARNING
2195
2196For maximum security, endeavour always to avoid ever looking at,
2197touching, or even imputing the existence of the filename. You do not
2198know that that filename is connected to the same file as the handle
2199you have, and attempts to check this can only trigger more race
2200conditions. It's far more secure to use the filehandle alone and
2201dispense with the filename altogether.
2202
2203If you need to pass the handle to something that expects a filename
2204then, on a unix system, use C<"/dev/fd/" . fileno($fh)> for arbitrary
2205programs, or more generally C<< "+<=&" . fileno($fh) >> for Perl
2206programs. You will have to clear the close-on-exec bit on that file
2207descriptor before passing it to another process.
2208
2209 use Fcntl qw/F_SETFD F_GETFD/;
2210 fcntl($tmpfh, F_SETFD, 0)
2211 or die "Can't clear close-on-exec flag on temp fh: $!\n";

09d7a2f9 2213=head2 Temporary files and NFS
2214
2215Some problems are associated with using temporary files that reside
2216on NFS file systems and it is recommended that a local filesystem
2217is used whenever possible. Some of the security tests will most probably
2218fail when the temp file is not local. Additionally, be aware that
2219the performance of I/O operations over NFS will not be as good as for
2220a local disk.
2221
05fb677a 2222=head2 Forking
2223
2224In some cases files created by File::Temp are removed from within an
2225END block. Since END blocks are triggered when a child process exits
2226(unless C<POSIX::_exit()> is used by the child) File::Temp takes care
2227to only remove those temp files created by a particular process ID. This
2228means that a child will not attempt to remove temp files created by the
2229parent process.
2230
5d0b10e0 2231If you are forking many processes in parallel that are all creating
2232temporary files, you may need to reset the random number seed using
2233srand(EXPR) in each child else all the children will attempt to walk
2234through the same set of random file names and may well cause
2235themselves to give up if they exceed the number of retry attempts.
2236
05fb677a 2237=head2 BINMODE
2238
2239The file returned by File::Temp will have been opened in binary mode
2240if such a mode is available. If that is not correct, use the binmode()
2241function to change the mode of the filehandle.
2242
262eb13a 2243=head1 HISTORY
2244
2245Originally began life in May 1999 as an XS interface to the system
e77f578c 2246mkstemp() function. In March 2000, the OpenBSD mkstemp() code was
262eb13a 2247translated to Perl for total control of the code's
2248security checking, to ensure the presence of the function regardless of
05fb677a 2249operating system and to help with portability. The module was shipped
2250as a standard part of perl from v5.6.1.
