9=head1 PORTABILITY
10
11This module is designed to be portable across operating systems
12and it currently supports Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2 and Windows. When
13porting to a new OS there are generally three main issues
14that have to be solved:
15
16=over 4
17
18=item *
19
20Can the OS unlink an open file? If it can't then the
21C<_can_unlink_opened_file> method should be modified.
22
23=item *
24
25Are the return values from C<stat> reliable? By default all the
26return values from C<stat> are compared when unlinking a temporary
27file using the filename and the handle. Operating systems other than
28unix do not always have valid entries in all fields. If C<unlink0> fails
29then the C<stat> comparison should be modified accordingly.
30
31=item *
32
33Security. Systems that can not support a test for the sticky bit
34on a directory can not use the MEDIUM and HIGH security tests.
35The C<_can_do_level> method should be modified accordingly.

90=head1 DESCRIPTION
91
92C<File::Temp> can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe way.
93The tempfile() function can be used to return the name and the open
94filehandle of a temporary file. The tempdir() function can
95be used to create a temporary directory.
96
97The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that
22d4bb9c 98a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee
99that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is
100created by another process between checking for the existence of the
101file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to
102check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable
103directories. See L<"safe_level"> for more information.
ee8c7f54 104
105For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of
106the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(),
107mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp().
108
109Additionally, implementations of the standard L<POSIX|POSIX>
110tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required.
111
112Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided,
113but should be used with caution since they return only a filename
114that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee
115that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename.

843=head1 FUNCTIONS
844
845This section describes the recommended interface for generating
846temporary files and directories.
847
848=over 4
849
850=item B<tempfile>
851
852This is the basic function to generate temporary files.
853The behaviour of the file can be changed using various options:
854
855 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile();
856
857Create a temporary file in the directory specified for temporary
858files, as specified by the tmpdir() function in L<File::Spec>.
859
860 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template);
861
862Create a temporary file in the current directory using the supplied
863template. Trailing `X' characters are replaced with random letters to
864generate the filename. At least four `X' characters must be present
865in the template.
866
867 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, SUFFIX => $suffix)
868
869Same as previously, except that a suffix is added to the template
870after the `X' translation. Useful for ensuring that a temporary
871filename has a particular extension when needed by other applications.
872But see the WARNING at the end.
873
874 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
875
876Translates the template as before except that a directory name
877is specified.
878
22d4bb9c 879 ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, UNLINK => 1);
880
881Return the filename and filehandle as before except that the file is
882automatically removed when the program exits. Default is for the file
883to be removed if a file handle is requested and to be kept if the
884filename is requested.
885
ee8c7f54 886If the template is not specified, a template is always
887automatically generated. This temporary file is placed in tmpdir()
888(L<File::Spec>) unless a directory is specified explicitly with the
889DIR option.
890
891 $fh = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir );
892
893If called in scalar context, only the filehandle is returned
894and the file will automatically be deleted when closed (see
895the description of tmpfile() elsewhere in this document).
896This is the preferred mode of operation, as if you only
897have a filehandle, you can never create a race condition
898by fumbling with the filename. On systems that can not unlink
899an open file (for example, Windows NT) the file is marked for
900deletion when the program ends (equivalent to setting UNLINK to 1).
901
902 (undef, $filename) = tempfile($template, OPEN => 0);
903
904This will return the filename based on the template but
905will not open this file. Cannot be used in conjunction with
906UNLINK set to true. Default is to always open the file
907to protect from possible race conditions. A warning is issued
908if warnings are turned on. Consider using the tmpnam()
909and mktemp() functions described elsewhere in this document
910if opening the file is not required.
911
22d4bb9c 912Options can be combined as required.

1017
1018=item B<tempdir>
1019
1020This is the recommended interface for creation of temporary directories.
1021The behaviour of the function depends on the arguments:
1022
1023 $tempdir = tempdir();
1024
1025Create a directory in tmpdir() (see L<File::Spec|File::Spec>).
1026
1027 $tempdir = tempdir( $template );
1028
1029Create a directory from the supplied template. This template is
1030similar to that described for tempfile(). `X' characters at the end
1031of the template are replaced with random letters to construct the
1032directory name. At least four `X' characters must be in the template.
1033
1034 $tempdir = tempdir ( DIR => $dir );
1035
1036Specifies the directory to use for the temporary directory.
1037The temporary directory name is derived from an internal template.
1038
1039 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => $dir );
1040
1041Prepend the supplied directory name to the template. The template
1042should not include parent directory specifications itself. Any parent
1043directory specifications are removed from the template before
1044prepending the supplied directory.
1045
1046 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, TMPDIR => 1 );
1047
1048Using the supplied template, creat the temporary directory in
1049a standard location for temporary files. Equivalent to doing
1050
1051 $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir);
1052
1053but shorter. Parent directory specifications are stripped from the
1054template itself. The C<TMPDIR> option is ignored if C<DIR> is set
1055explicitly. Additionally, C<TMPDIR> is implied if neither a template
1056nor a directory are supplied.
1057
1058 $tempdir = tempdir( $template, CLEANUP => 1);
1059
1060Create a temporary directory using the supplied template, but
1061attempt to remove it (and all files inside it) when the program
1062exits. Note that an attempt will be made to remove all files from
1063the directory even if they were not created by this module (otherwise
1064why ask to clean it up?). The directory removal is made with
1065the rmtree() function from the L<File::Path|File::Path> module.
1066Of course, if the template is not specified, the temporary directory
1067will be created in tmpdir() and will also be removed at program exit.

1171Given a template, returns a filehandle to the temporary file and the name
1172of the file.

1174 ($fh, $name) = mkstemp( $template );
1175
1176In scalar context, just the filehandle is returned.
1177
1178The template may be any filename with some number of X's appended
1179to it, for example F</tmp/temp.XXXX>. The trailing X's are replaced
1180with unique alphanumeric combinations.

1322
1323This section describes the re-implementation of the tmpnam()
1324and tmpfile() functions described in L<POSIX>
1325using the mkstemp() from this module.
1326
1327Unlike the L<POSIX|POSIX> implementations, the directory used
1328for the temporary file is not specified in a system include
1329file (C<P_tmpdir>) but simply depends on the choice of tmpdir()
1330returned by L<File::Spec|File::Spec>. On some implementations this
1331location can be set using the C<TMPDIR> environment variable, which
1332may not be secure.
1333If this is a problem, simply use mkstemp() and specify a template.
1334
1335=over 4
1336
1337=item B<tmpnam>
1338
1339When called in scalar context, returns the full name (including path)
1340of a temporary file (uses mktemp()). The only check is that the file does
1341not already exist, but there is no guarantee that that condition will
1342continue to apply.
1343
1344 $file = tmpnam();
1345
1346When called in list context, a filehandle to the open file and
1347a filename are returned. This is achieved by calling mkstemp()
1348after constructing a suitable template.
1349
1350 ($fh, $file) = tmpnam();
1351
1352If possible, this form should be used to prevent possible
1353race conditions.

1416Return the name of a temporary file in the specified directory

1418the function was called, but such guarantees are good for one
1419clock tick only. Always use the proper form of C<sysopen>
1420with C<O_CREAT | O_EXCL> if you must open such a filename.
1421
1422 $filename = File::Temp::tempnam( $dir, $prefix );
1423
1424Equivalent to running mktemp() with $dir/$prefixXXXXXXXX
1425(using unix file convention as an example)

1450
1451Useful functions for dealing with the filehandle and filename.
1452
1453=over 4
1454
1455=item B<unlink0>
1456
1457Given an open filehandle and the associated filename, make a safe
1458unlink. This is achieved by first checking that the filename and
1459filehandle initially point to the same file and that the number of
1460links to the file is 1 (all fields returned by stat() are compared).
1461Then the filename is unlinked and the filehandle checked once again to
1462verify that the number of links on that file is now 0. This is the
1463closest you can come to making sure that the filename unlinked was the
1464same as the file whose descriptor you hold.
1465
1466 unlink0($fh, $path) or die "Error unlinking file $path safely";
1467
1468Returns false on error. The filehandle is not closed since on some
1469occasions this is not required.
1470
1471On some platforms, for example Windows NT, it is not possible to
1472unlink an open file (the file must be closed first). On those
4b19af01 1473platforms, the actual unlinking is deferred until the program ends and
1474good status is returned. A check is still performed to make sure that
1475the filehandle and filename are pointing to the same thing (but not at
1476the time the end block is executed since the deferred removal may not
1477have access to the filehandle).
ee8c7f54 1478
1479Additionally, on Windows NT not all the fields returned by stat() can
22d4bb9c 1480be compared. For example, the C<dev> and C<rdev> fields seem to be
1481different. Also, it seems that the size of the file returned by stat()
ee8c7f54 1482does not always agree, with C<stat(FH)> being more accurate than
1483C<stat(filename)>, presumably because of caching issues even when
1484using autoflush (this is usually overcome by waiting a while after
1485writing to the tempfile before attempting to C<unlink0> it).
1486
4b19af01 1487Finally, on NFS file systems the link count of the file handle does
1488not always go to zero immediately after unlinking. Currently, this
1489command is expected to fail on NFS disks.

1583
1584=item B<safe_level>
1585
1586Controls the lengths to which the module will go to check the safety of the
1587temporary file or directory before proceeding.
1588Options are:
1589
1590=over 8
1591
1592=item STANDARD
1593
1594Do the basic security measures to ensure the directory exists and
1595is writable, that the umask() is fixed before opening of the file,
1596that temporary files are opened only if they do not already exist, and
1597that possible race conditions are avoided. Finally the L<unlink0|"unlink0">
1598function is used to remove files safely.
1599
1600=item MEDIUM
1601
1602In addition to the STANDARD security, the output directory is checked
1603to make sure that it is owned either by root or the user running the
1604program. If the directory is writable by group or by other, it is then
1605checked to make sure that the sticky bit is set.
1606
1607Will not work on platforms that do not support the C<-k> test
1608for sticky bit.
1609
1610=item HIGH
1611
1612In addition to the MEDIUM security checks, also check for the
1613possibility of ``chown() giveaway'' using the L<POSIX|POSIX>
1614sysconf() function. If this is a possibility, each directory in the
1615path is checked in turn for safeness, recursively walking back to the
1616root directory.
1617
1618For platforms that do not support the L<POSIX|POSIX>
1619C<_PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED> symbol (for example, Windows NT) it is
1620assumed that ``chown() giveaway'' is possible and the recursive test
1621is performed.
1622
1623=back
1624
1625The level can be changed as follows:
1626
1627 File::Temp->safe_level( File::Temp::HIGH );
1628
1629The level constants are not exported by the module.
1630
1631Currently, you must be running at least perl v5.6.0 in order to
1632run with MEDIUM or HIGH security. This is simply because the
1633safety tests use functions from L<Fcntl|Fcntl> that are not
1634available in older versions of perl. The problem is that the version
1635number for Fcntl is the same in perl 5.6.0 and in 5.005_03 even though
4b19af01 1636they are different versions.
1637
1638On systems that do not support the HIGH or MEDIUM safety levels
1639(for example Win NT or OS/2) any attempt to change the level will
1640be ignored. The decision to ignore rather than raise an exception
1641allows portable programs to be written with high security in mind
1642for the systems that can support this without those programs failing
1643on systems where the extra tests are irrelevant.
1644
1645If you really need to see whether the change has been accepted
1646simply examine the return value of C<safe_level>.

1682owned by a system UID (C<root>, C<bin>, C<sys> etc) rather than
1683simply by root.
1684
1685This is required since on many unix systems C</tmp> is not owned

1715=head1 WARNING
1716
1717For maximum security, endeavour always to avoid ever looking at,
1718touching, or even imputing the existence of the filename. You do not
1719know that that filename is connected to the same file as the handle
1720you have, and attempts to check this can only trigger more race
1721conditions. It's far more secure to use the filehandle alone and
1722dispense with the filename altogether.

1724If you need to pass the handle to something that expects a filename
1725then, on a unix system, use C<"/dev/fd/" . fileno($fh)> for arbitrary
1726programs, or more generally C<< "+<=&" . fileno($fh) >> for Perl
1727programs. You will have to clear the close-on-exec bit on that file
1728descriptor before passing it to another process.

1734=head1 HISTORY
1735
1736Originally began life in May 1999 as an XS interface to the system
22d4bb9c 1737mkstemp() function. In March 2000, the OpenBSD mkstemp() code was
ee8c7f54 1738translated to Perl for total control of the code's
1739security checking, to ensure the presence of the function regardless of
1740operating system and to help with portability.

1758Original Perl implementation loosely based on the OpenBSD C code for
1759mkstemp(). Thanks to Tom Christiansen for suggesting that this module
1760should be written and providing ideas for code improvements and
1761security enhancements.
