tmpfile

#include <stdio.h>

FILE *tmpfile(void);

DESCRIPTION: Creates a temporary binary file for update (w+b mode — see fopen for details). The filename is unique to avoid any conflict with existing files. The temporary file created is automatically deleted when it is closed (fclose) or when the program terminates normally.
PARAMETERS: None.
RETURN VALUE: If successful, the function returns a file pointer (stream) to the temporary file created. If the file can not be created a NULL pointer is returned.
SEE ALSO: fopen, tmpnam
