Hrmm, I don't think it's removed.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int fd = 0;
char storage[100] = "/tmp/testXXXXXX";
fd = mkstemp(storage);
write(fd, "123456789\n", strlen("123456789\n"));
printf("file is %s\n", storage);
close (fd);
}
I still have the files sitting around, complete with contents.
I don't know... I like the idea of giving someone a filename and
letting them do what they want with it, which may or may not include
opening the file.
