10 | |
11 | This module is designed to be portable across operating systems |
be708cc0 |
12 | and it currently supports Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows and |
13 | Mac OS (Classic). When |
e77f578c |
14 | porting to a new OS there are generally three main issues |
15 | that have to be solved: |
16 | |
17 | =over 4 |
18 | |
19 | =item * |
20 | |
28d6a1e0 |
21 | Can the OS unlink an open file? If it can not then the |
e77f578c |
22 | C<_can_unlink_opened_file> method should be modified. |
23 | |
24 | =item * |
25 | |
26 | Are the return values from C<stat> reliable? By default all the |
27 | return values from C<stat> are compared when unlinking a temporary |
28 | file using the filename and the handle. Operating systems other than |
29 | unix do not always have valid entries in all fields. If C<unlink0> fails |
30 | then the C<stat> comparison should be modified accordingly. |
31 | |
32 | =item * |
33 | |
34 | Security. Systems that can not support a test for the sticky bit |
35 | on a directory can not use the MEDIUM and HIGH security tests. |
36 | The C<_can_do_level> method should be modified accordingly. |

91 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
92 | |
93 | C<File::Temp> can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe way. |
94 | The tempfile() function can be used to return the name and the open |
be708cc0 |
95 | filehandle of a temporary file. The tempdir() function can |
262eb13a |
96 | be used to create a temporary directory. |
97 | |
98 | The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that |
781948c1 |
99 | a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee |
100 | that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is |
101 | created by another process between checking for the existence of the |
102 | file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to |
103 | check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable |
104 | directories. See L<"safe_level"> for more information. |
262eb13a |
105 | |
106 | For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of |
107 | the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(), |
108 | mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp(). |
109 | |
110 | Additionally, implementations of the standard L<POSIX|POSIX> |
111 | tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required. |
112 | |
113 | Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided, |
114 | but should be used with caution since they return only a filename |
115 | that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee |
116 | that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename. |

917 | Create a temporary file in the directory specified for temporary |
918 | files, as specified by the tmpdir() function in L<File::Spec>. |
919 | |
920 | ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template); |
921 | |
922 | Create a temporary file in the current directory using the supplied |
923 | template. Trailing `X' characters are replaced with random letters to |
924 | generate the filename. At least four `X' characters must be present |
925 | in the template. |
926 | |
927 | ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, SUFFIX => $suffix) |
928 | |
929 | Same as previously, except that a suffix is added to the template |
930 | after the `X' translation. Useful for ensuring that a temporary |
931 | filename has a particular extension when needed by other applications. |
932 | But see the WARNING at the end. |
933 | |
934 | ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir); |
935 | |
936 | Translates the template as before except that a directory name |
937 | is specified. |
938 | |
51fc852f |
939 | ($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, UNLINK => 1); |
940 | |
941 | Return the filename and filehandle as before except that the file is |
942 | automatically removed when the program exits. Default is for the file |
943 | to be removed if a file handle is requested and to be kept if the |
be708cc0 |
944 | filename is requested. In a scalar context (where no filename is |
09d7a2f9 |
945 | returned) the file is always deleted either on exit or when it is closed. |
51fc852f |
946 | |
262eb13a |
947 | If the template is not specified, a template is always |
948 | automatically generated. This temporary file is placed in tmpdir() |
be708cc0 |
949 | (L<File::Spec>) unless a directory is specified explicitly with the |
262eb13a |
950 | DIR option. |
951 | |
952 | $fh = tempfile( $template, DIR => $dir ); |
953 | |
954 | If called in scalar context, only the filehandle is returned |
be708cc0 |
955 | and the file will automatically be deleted when closed (see |
262eb13a |
956 | the description of tmpfile() elsewhere in this document). |
be708cc0 |
957 | This is the preferred mode of operation, as if you only |
262eb13a |
958 | have a filehandle, you can never create a race condition |
959 | by fumbling with the filename. On systems that can not unlink |
09d7a2f9 |
960 | an open file or can not mark a file as temporary when it is opened |
961 | (for example, Windows NT uses the C<O_TEMPORARY> flag)) |
962 | the file is marked for deletion when the program ends (equivalent |
963 | to setting UNLINK to 1). The C<UNLINK> flag is ignored if present. |
964 | |
262eb13a |
965 | (undef, $filename) = tempfile($template, OPEN => 0); |
966 | |
967 | This will return the filename based on the template but |
968 | will not open this file. Cannot be used in conjunction with |
be708cc0 |
969 | UNLINK set to true. Default is to always open the file |
262eb13a |
970 | to protect from possible race conditions. A warning is issued |
971 | if warnings are turned on. Consider using the tmpnam() |
972 | and mktemp() functions described elsewhere in this document |
973 | if opening the file is not required. |

1097 | |
1098 | This is the recommended interface for creation of temporary directories. |
1099 | The behaviour of the function depends on the arguments: |
1100 | |
1101 | $tempdir = tempdir(); |
1102 | |
1103 | Create a directory in tmpdir() (see L<File::Spec|File::Spec>). |
1104 | |
1105 | $tempdir = tempdir( $template ); |
1106 | |
1107 | Create a directory from the supplied template. This template is |
1108 | similar to that described for tempfile(). `X' characters at the end |
1109 | of the template are replaced with random letters to construct the |
1110 | directory name. At least four `X' characters must be in the template. |
1111 | |
1112 | $tempdir = tempdir ( DIR => $dir ); |
1113 | |
1114 | Specifies the directory to use for the temporary directory. |
1115 | The temporary directory name is derived from an internal template. |
1116 | |
1117 | $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => $dir ); |
1118 | |
1119 | Prepend the supplied directory name to the template. The template |
1120 | should not include parent directory specifications itself. Any parent |
1121 | directory specifications are removed from the template before |
1122 | prepending the supplied directory. |
1123 | |
1124 | $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, TMPDIR => 1 ); |
1125 | |
be708cc0 |
1126 | Using the supplied template, create the temporary directory in |
262eb13a |
1127 | a standard location for temporary files. Equivalent to doing |
1128 | |
1129 | $tempdir = tempdir ( $template, DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir); |
1130 | |
1131 | but shorter. Parent directory specifications are stripped from the |
1132 | template itself. The C<TMPDIR> option is ignored if C<DIR> is set |
1133 | explicitly. Additionally, C<TMPDIR> is implied if neither a template |
1134 | nor a directory are supplied. |
1135 | |
1136 | $tempdir = tempdir( $template, CLEANUP => 1); |
1137 | |
be708cc0 |
1138 | Create a temporary directory using the supplied template, but |
262eb13a |
1139 | attempt to remove it (and all files inside it) when the program |
1140 | exits. Note that an attempt will be made to remove all files from |
1141 | the directory even if they were not created by this module (otherwise |
1142 | why ask to clean it up?). The directory removal is made with |
1143 | the rmtree() function from the L<File::Path|File::Path> module. |
1144 | Of course, if the template is not specified, the temporary directory |
1145 | will be created in tmpdir() and will also be removed at program exit. |

1415 | |
1416 | This section describes the re-implementation of the tmpnam() |
be708cc0 |
1417 | and tmpfile() functions described in L<POSIX> |
262eb13a |
1418 | using the mkstemp() from this module. |
1419 | |
1420 | Unlike the L<POSIX|POSIX> implementations, the directory used |
1421 | for the temporary file is not specified in a system include |
1422 | file (C<P_tmpdir>) but simply depends on the choice of tmpdir() |
1423 | returned by L<File::Spec|File::Spec>. On some implementations this |
1424 | location can be set using the C<TMPDIR> environment variable, which |
1425 | may not be secure. |
1426 | If this is a problem, simply use mkstemp() and specify a template. |
1427 | |
1428 | =over 4 |
1429 | |
1430 | =item B<tmpnam> |
1431 | |
1432 | When called in scalar context, returns the full name (including path) |
1433 | of a temporary file (uses mktemp()). The only check is that the file does |
1434 | not already exist, but there is no guarantee that that condition will |
1435 | continue to apply. |
1436 | |
1437 | $file = tmpnam(); |
1438 | |
1439 | When called in list context, a filehandle to the open file and |
1440 | a filename are returned. This is achieved by calling mkstemp() |
1441 | after constructing a suitable template. |
1442 | |
1443 | ($fh, $file) = tmpnam(); |
1444 | |
1445 | If possible, this form should be used to prevent possible |

1524 | (using unix file convention as an example) |

1548 | =head1 UTILITY FUNCTIONS |
1549 | |
1550 | Useful functions for dealing with the filehandle and filename. |
1551 | |
1552 | =over 4 |
1553 | |
1554 | =item B<unlink0> |
1555 | |
1556 | Given an open filehandle and the associated filename, make a safe |
1557 | unlink. This is achieved by first checking that the filename and |
1558 | filehandle initially point to the same file and that the number of |
1559 | links to the file is 1 (all fields returned by stat() are compared). |
1560 | Then the filename is unlinked and the filehandle checked once again to |
1561 | verify that the number of links on that file is now 0. This is the |
1562 | closest you can come to making sure that the filename unlinked was the |
1563 | same as the file whose descriptor you hold. |
1564 | |
1565 | unlink0($fh, $path) or die "Error unlinking file $path safely"; |
1566 | |
1567 | Returns false on error. The filehandle is not closed since on some |
1568 | occasions this is not required. |
1569 | |
1570 | On some platforms, for example Windows NT, it is not possible to |
1571 | unlink an open file (the file must be closed first). On those |
1c19c868 |
1572 | platforms, the actual unlinking is deferred until the program ends and |
1573 | good status is returned. A check is still performed to make sure that |
1574 | the filehandle and filename are pointing to the same thing (but not at |
1575 | the time the end block is executed since the deferred removal may not |
1576 | have access to the filehandle). |
262eb13a |
1577 | |
1578 | Additionally, on Windows NT not all the fields returned by stat() can |
51fc852f |
1579 | be compared. For example, the C<dev> and C<rdev> fields seem to be |
1580 | different. Also, it seems that the size of the file returned by stat() |
262eb13a |
1581 | does not always agree, with C<stat(FH)> being more accurate than |
1582 | C<stat(filename)>, presumably because of caching issues even when |
1583 | using autoflush (this is usually overcome by waiting a while after |
1584 | writing to the tempfile before attempting to C<unlink0> it). |
1585 | |
1c19c868 |
1586 | Finally, on NFS file systems the link count of the file handle does |
1587 | not always go to zero immediately after unlinking. Currently, this |
1588 | command is expected to fail on NFS disks. |

1690 | |
1691 | =over 8 |
1692 | |
1693 | =item STANDARD |
1694 | |
1695 | Do the basic security measures to ensure the directory exists and |
1696 | is writable, that the umask() is fixed before opening of the file, |
1697 | that temporary files are opened only if they do not already exist, and |
1698 | that possible race conditions are avoided. Finally the L<unlink0|"unlink0"> |
1699 | function is used to remove files safely. |
1700 | |
1701 | =item MEDIUM |
1702 | |
1703 | In addition to the STANDARD security, the output directory is checked |
1704 | to make sure that it is owned either by root or the user running the |
1705 | program. If the directory is writable by group or by other, it is then |
1706 | checked to make sure that the sticky bit is set. |
1707 | |
1708 | Will not work on platforms that do not support the C<-k> test |
1709 | for sticky bit. |
1710 | |
1711 | =item HIGH |
1712 | |
1713 | In addition to the MEDIUM security checks, also check for the |
1714 | possibility of ``chown() giveaway'' using the L<POSIX|POSIX> |
1715 | sysconf() function. If this is a possibility, each directory in the |
be708cc0 |
1716 | path is checked in turn for safeness, recursively walking back to the |
262eb13a |
1717 | root directory. |
1718 | |
1719 | For platforms that do not support the L<POSIX|POSIX> |
be708cc0 |
1720 | C<_PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED> symbol (for example, Windows NT) it is |
262eb13a |
1721 | assumed that ``chown() giveaway'' is possible and the recursive test |
1722 | is performed. |
1723 | |
1724 | =back |
1725 | |
1726 | The level can be changed as follows: |
1727 | |
1728 | File::Temp->safe_level( File::Temp::HIGH ); |
1729 | |
1730 | The level constants are not exported by the module. |
1731 | |
1732 | Currently, you must be running at least perl v5.6.0 in order to |
be708cc0 |
1733 | run with MEDIUM or HIGH security. This is simply because the |
262eb13a |
1734 | safety tests use functions from L<Fcntl|Fcntl> that are not |
1735 | available in older versions of perl. The problem is that the version |
1736 | number for Fcntl is the same in perl 5.6.0 and in 5.005_03 even though |
1c19c868 |
1737 | they are different versions. |
1738 | |
1739 | On systems that do not support the HIGH or MEDIUM safety levels |
1740 | (for example Win NT or OS/2) any attempt to change the level will |
1741 | be ignored. The decision to ignore rather than raise an exception |
1742 | allows portable programs to be written with high security in mind |
1743 | for the systems that can support this without those programs failing |
1744 | on systems where the extra tests are irrelevant. |
1745 | |
1746 | If you really need to see whether the change has been accepted |

1817 | |
1818 | For maximum security, endeavour always to avoid ever looking at, |
1819 | touching, or even imputing the existence of the filename. You do not |
1820 | know that that filename is connected to the same file as the handle |
1821 | you have, and attempts to check this can only trigger more race |
1822 | conditions. It's far more secure to use the filehandle alone and |
1823 | dispense with the filename altogether. |
1824 | |
1825 | If you need to pass the handle to something that expects a filename |

1835 | =head2 Temporary files and NFS |
1836 | |
1837 | Some problems are associated with using temporary files that reside |
1838 | on NFS file systems and it is recommended that a local filesystem |
1839 | is used whenever possible. Some of the security tests will most probably |
1840 | fail when the temp file is not local. Additionally, be aware that |
1841 | the performance of I/O operations over NFS will not be as good as for |
1842 | a local disk. |

1844 | =head1 HISTORY |
1845 | |
1846 | Originally began life in May 1999 as an XS interface to the system |
e77f578c |
1847 | mkstemp() function. In March 2000, the OpenBSD mkstemp() code was |
262eb13a |
1848 | translated to Perl for total control of the code's |
1849 | security checking, to ensure the presence of the function regardless of |
1850 | operating system and to help with portability. |
