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 979
980This is the primary interface for interacting with
981C<File::Temp>. Using the OO interface a temporary file can be created
982when the object is constructed and the file can be removed when the
983object is no longer required.
984
985Note that there is no method to obtain the filehandle from the
986C<File::Temp> object. The object itself acts as a filehandle. Also,
987the object is configured such that it stringifies to the name of the
5d0b10e0 988temporary file. The object isa C<IO::Handle> and isa C<IO::Seekable>
989so all those methods are available.
4a094b80 990
991=over 4
992
993=item B<new>
994
995Create a temporary file object.
996
997 my $tmp = new File::Temp();
998
999by default the object is constructed as if C<tempfile>
1000was called without options, but with the additional behaviour
1001that the temporary file is removed by the object destructor
1002if UNLINK is set to true (the default).
1003
1004Supported arguments are the same as for C<tempfile>: UNLINK
1005(defaulting to true), DIR and SUFFIX. Additionally, the filename
1006template is specified using the TEMPLATE option. The OPEN option
1007is not supported (the file is always opened).
1008
1009 $tmp = new File::Temp( TEMPLATE => 'tempXXXXX',
1010 DIR => 'mydir',
1011 SUFFIX => '.dat');
1012
1013Arguments are case insensitive.

262eb13a 1131=head1 FUNCTIONS
1132
1133This section describes the recommended interface for generating
1134temporary files and directories.
1135
1136=over 4
1137
1138=item B<tempfile>
1139
1140This is the basic function to generate temporary files.
1141The behaviour of the file can be changed using various options:
1142
05fb677a 1143 $fh = tempfile();
262eb13a 1144 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile();
1145
1146Create a temporary file in the directory specified for temporary
1147files, as specified by the tmpdir() function in L<File::Spec>.
1148
1149 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template);
1150
1151Create a temporary file in the current directory using the supplied
1152template. Trailing `X' characters are replaced with random letters to
1153generate the filename. At least four `X' characters must be present
4a094b80 1154at the end of the template.
262eb13a 1155
1156 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, SUFFIX => $suffix)
1157
1158Same as previously, except that a suffix is added to the template
1159after the `X' translation. Useful for ensuring that a temporary
1160filename has a particular extension when needed by other applications.
1161But see the WARNING at the end.
1162
1163 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
1164
1165Translates the template as before except that a directory name
1166is specified.
1167
51fc852f 1168 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, UNLINK => 1);
1169
1170Return the filename and filehandle as before except that the file is
05fb677a 1171automatically removed when the program exits (dependent on
1172$KEEP_ALL). Default is for the file to be removed if a file handle is
1173requested and to be kept if the filename is requested. In a scalar
1174context (where no filename is returned) the file is always deleted
1175either (depending on the operating system) on exit or when it is
1176closed (unless $KEEP_ALL is true when the temp file is created).
1177
1178Use the object-oriented interface if fine-grained control of when
1179a file is removed is required.
51fc852f 1180
262eb13a 1181If the template is not specified, a template is always
1182automatically generated. This temporary file is placed in tmpdir()
be708cc0 1183(L<File::Spec>) unless a directory is specified explicitly with the
262eb13a 1184DIR option.
1185
1186 $fh = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir );
1187
05fb677a 1188If called in scalar context, only the filehandle is returned and the
1189file will automatically be deleted when closed on operating systems
1190that support this (see the description of tmpfile() elsewhere in this
1191document). This is the preferred mode of operation, as if you only
1192have a filehandle, you can never create a race condition by fumbling
1193with the filename. On systems that can not unlink an open file or can
1194not mark a file as temporary when it is opened (for example, Windows
1195NT uses the C<O_TEMPORARY> flag) the file is marked for deletion when
1196the program ends (equivalent to setting UNLINK to 1). The C<UNLINK>
1197flag is ignored if present.
09d7a2f9 1198
262eb13a 1199 (undef, $filename) = tempfile($template, OPEN => 0);
1200
1201This will return the filename based on the template but
1202will not open this file. Cannot be used in conjunction with
be708cc0 1203UNLINK set to true. Default is to always open the file
262eb13a 1204to protect from possible race conditions. A warning is issued
1205if warnings are turned on. Consider using the tmpnam()
1206and mktemp() functions described elsewhere in this document
1207if opening the file is not required.
1208
51fc852f 1209Options can be combined as required.

1332
1333=item B<tempdir>
1334
1335This is the recommended interface for creation of temporary directories.
1336The behaviour of the function depends on the arguments:
1337
1338 $tempdir = tempdir();
1339
1340Create a directory in tmpdir() (see L<File::Spec|File::Spec>).
1341
1342 $tempdir = tempdir( $template );
1343
1344Create a directory from the supplied template. This template is
1345similar to that described for tempfile(). `X' characters at the end
1346of the template are replaced with random letters to construct the
1347directory name. At least four `X' characters must be in the template.
1348
1349 $tempdir = tempdir ( DIR => $dir );
1350
1351Specifies the directory to use for the temporary directory.
1352The temporary directory name is derived from an internal template.
1353
1354 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => $dir );
1355
1356Prepend the supplied directory name to the template. The template
1357should not include parent directory specifications itself. Any parent
1358directory specifications are removed from the template before
1359prepending the supplied directory.
1360
1361 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, TMPDIR => 1 );
1362
be708cc0 1363Using the supplied template, create the temporary directory in
262eb13a 1364a standard location for temporary files. Equivalent to doing
1365
1366 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir);
1367
1368but shorter. Parent directory specifications are stripped from the
1369template itself. The C<TMPDIR> option is ignored if C<DIR> is set
1370explicitly. Additionally, C<TMPDIR> is implied if neither a template
1371nor a directory are supplied.
1372
1373 $tempdir = tempdir( $template, CLEANUP => 1);
1374
be708cc0 1375Create a temporary directory using the supplied template, but
262eb13a 1376attempt to remove it (and all files inside it) when the program
1377exits. Note that an attempt will be made to remove all files from
1378the directory even if they were not created by this module (otherwise
1379why ask to clean it up?). The directory removal is made with
1380the rmtree() function from the L<File::Path|File::Path> module.
1381Of course, if the template is not specified, the temporary directory
1382will be created in tmpdir() and will also be removed at program exit.
1383

1661
1662This section describes the re-implementation of the tmpnam()
be708cc0 1663and tmpfile() functions described in L<POSIX>
262eb13a 1664using the mkstemp() from this module.
1665
1666Unlike the L<POSIX|POSIX> implementations, the directory used
1667for the temporary file is not specified in a system include
1668file (C<P_tmpdir>) but simply depends on the choice of tmpdir()
1669returned by L<File::Spec|File::Spec>. On some implementations this
1670location can be set using the C<TMPDIR> environment variable, which
1671may not be secure.
1672If this is a problem, simply use mkstemp() and specify a template.
1673
1674=over 4
1675
1676=item B<tmpnam>
1677
1678When called in scalar context, returns the full name (including path)
1679of a temporary file (uses mktemp()). The only check is that the file does
1680not already exist, but there is no guarantee that that condition will
1681continue to apply.
1682
1683 $file = tmpnam();
1684
1685When called in list context, a filehandle to the open file and
1686a filename are returned. This is achieved by calling mkstemp()
1687after constructing a suitable template.
1688
1689 ($fh, $file) = tmpnam();
1690
1691If possible, this form should be used to prevent possible
1692race conditions.

1801
1802Useful functions for dealing with the filehandle and filename.
1803
1804=over 4
1805
1806=item B<unlink0>
1807
1808Given an open filehandle and the associated filename, make a safe
1809unlink. This is achieved by first checking that the filename and
1810filehandle initially point to the same file and that the number of
1811links to the file is 1 (all fields returned by stat() are compared).
1812Then the filename is unlinked and the filehandle checked once again to
1813verify that the number of links on that file is now 0. This is the
1814closest you can come to making sure that the filename unlinked was the
1815same as the file whose descriptor you hold.
1816
05fb677a 1817 unlink0($fh, $path)
1818 or die "Error unlinking file $path safely";
262eb13a 1819
5d0b10e0 1820Returns false on error but croaks() if there is a security
1821anomaly. The filehandle is not closed since on some occasions this is
1822not required.
262eb13a 1823
1824On some platforms, for example Windows NT, it is not possible to
1825unlink an open file (the file must be closed first). On those
1c19c868 1826platforms, the actual unlinking is deferred until the program ends and
1827good status is returned. A check is still performed to make sure that
1828the filehandle and filename are pointing to the same thing (but not at
1829the time the end block is executed since the deferred removal may not
1830have access to the filehandle).
262eb13a 1831
1832Additionally, on Windows NT not all the fields returned by stat() can
51fc852f 1833be compared. For example, the C<dev> and C<rdev> fields seem to be
1834different. Also, it seems that the size of the file returned by stat()
262eb13a 1835does not always agree, with C<stat(FH)> being more accurate than
1836C<stat(filename)>, presumably because of caching issues even when
1837using autoflush (this is usually overcome by waiting a while after
1838writing to the tempfile before attempting to C<unlink0> it).
1839
1c19c868 1840Finally, on NFS file systems the link count of the file handle does
1841not always go to zero immediately after unlinking. Currently, this
1842command is expected to fail on NFS disks.
1843
05fb677a 1844This function is disabled if the global variable $KEEP_ALL is true
1845and an unlink on open file is supported. If the unlink is to be deferred
1846to the END block, the file is still registered for removal.
1847
5d0b10e0 1848This function should not be called if you are using the object oriented
1849interface since the it will interfere with the object destructor deleting
1850the file.

2091
2092For platforms that do not support the L<POSIX|POSIX>
be708cc0 2093C<_PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED> symbol (for example, Windows NT) it is
262eb13a 2094assumed that ``chown() giveaway'' is possible and the recursive test
2095is performed.

2099The level can be changed as follows:
2100
2101 File::Temp->safe_level( File::Temp::HIGH );
2102
2103The level constants are not exported by the module.
2104
2105Currently, you must be running at least perl v5.6.0 in order to
be708cc0 2106run with MEDIUM or HIGH security. This is simply because the
262eb13a 2107safety tests use functions from L<Fcntl|Fcntl> that are not
2108available in older versions of perl. The problem is that the version
2109number for Fcntl is the same in perl 5.6.0 and in 5.005_03 even though
1c19c868 2110they are different versions.
2111
2112On systems that do not support the HIGH or MEDIUM safety levels
2113(for example Win NT or OS/2) any attempt to change the level will
2114be ignored. The decision to ignore rather than raise an exception
2115allows portable programs to be written with high security in mind
2116for the systems that can support this without those programs failing
2117on systems where the extra tests are irrelevant.
2118
2119If you really need to see whether the change has been accepted
2120simply examine the return value of C<safe_level>.

2122 $newlevel = File::Temp->safe_level( File::Temp::HIGH );

2152=item TopSystemUID
2153
2154This is the highest UID on the current system that refers to a root
be708cc0 2155UID. This is used to make sure that the temporary directory is
2156owned by a system UID (C<root>, C<bin>, C<sys> etc) rather than
262eb13a 2157simply by root.
2158
2159This is required since on many unix systems C</tmp> is not owned
2160by root.
2161
2162Default is to assume that any UID less than or equal to 10 is a root
2163UID.
2164
2165 File::Temp->top_system_uid(10);
2166 my $topid = File::Temp->top_system_uid;
2167
2168This value can be adjusted to reduce security checking if required.
2169The value is only relevant when C<safe_level> is set to MEDIUM or higher.

2199In some cases, files will only be retained if this variable is true

262eb13a 2214=head1 WARNING
2215
2216For maximum security, endeavour always to avoid ever looking at,
2217touching, or even imputing the existence of the filename. You do not
2218know that that filename is connected to the same file as the handle
2219you have, and attempts to check this can only trigger more race
2220conditions. It's far more secure to use the filehandle alone and
2221dispense with the filename altogether.
2222
2223If you need to pass the handle to something that expects a filename
2224then, on a unix system, use C<"/dev/fd/" . fileno($fh)> for arbitrary
2225programs, or more generally C<< "+<=&" . fileno($fh) >> for Perl
2226programs. You will have to clear the close-on-exec bit on that file
2227descriptor before passing it to another process.
2228
2229 use Fcntl qw/F_SETFD F_GETFD/;
2230 fcntl($tmpfh, F_SETFD, 0)
2231 or die "Can't clear close-on-exec flag on temp fh: $!\n";
2232
09d7a2f9 2233=head2 Temporary files and NFS
2234
2235Some problems are associated with using temporary files that reside
2236on NFS file systems and it is recommended that a local filesystem
2237is used whenever possible. Some of the security tests will most probably
2238fail when the temp file is not local. Additionally, be aware that
2239the performance of I/O operations over NFS will not be as good as for
2240a local disk.
2241
05fb677a 2242=head2 Forking
2243
2244In some cases files created by File::Temp are removed from within an
2245END block. Since END blocks are triggered when a child process exits
2246(unless C<POSIX::_exit()> is used by the child) File::Temp takes care
2247to only remove those temp files created by a particular process ID. This
2248means that a child will not attempt to remove temp files created by the
2249parent process.
2250
5d0b10e0 2251If you are forking many processes in parallel that are all creating
2252temporary files, you may need to reset the random number seed using
2253srand(EXPR) in each child else all the children will attempt to walk
2254through the same set of random file names and may well cause
2255themselves to give up if they exceed the number of retry attempts.
2256
05fb677a 2257=head2 BINMODE
2258
2259The file returned by File::Temp will have been opened in binary mode
2260if such a mode is available. If that is not correct, use the binmode()
2261function to change the mode of the filehandle.
2262
262eb13a 2263=head1 HISTORY
2264
2265Originally began life in May 1999 as an XS interface to the system
e77f578c 2266mkstemp() function. In March 2000, the OpenBSD mkstemp() code was
262eb13a 2267translated to Perl for total control of the code's
2268security checking, to ensure the presence of the function regardless of
05fb677a 2269operating system and to help with portability. The module was shipped
2270as a standard part of perl from v5.6.1.
