Struct tempfile::NamedTempFile
[−]
[src]
pub struct NamedTempFile(_);
A named temporary file.
This variant is NOT secure/reliable in the presence of a pathological temporary file cleaner.
NamedTempFiles are deleted on drop. As rust doesn't guarantee that a struct will ever be dropped, these temporary files will not be deleted on abort, resource leak, early exit, etc.
Please use TempFile unless you absolutely need a named file.
Methods
impl NamedTempFile
[src]
fn new() -> Result<NamedTempFile>
Create a new temporary file.
SECURITY WARNING: This will create a temporary file in the default temporary file directory (platform dependent). These directories are often patrolled by temporary file cleaners so only use this method if you're positive that the temporary file cleaner won't delete your file.
Reasons to use this method: 1. The file has a short lifetime and your temporary file cleaner is sane (doesn't delete recently accessed files). 2. You trust every user on your system (i.e. you are the only user). 3. You have disabled your system's temporary file cleaner or verified that your system doesn't have a temporary file cleaner.
Reasons not to use this method: 1. You'll fix it later. No you won't. 2. You don't care about the security of the temporary file. If none of the "reasons to use this method" apply, referring to a temporary file by name may allow an attacker to create/overwrite your non-temporary files. There are exceptions but if you don't already know them, don't use this method.
fn new_in<P: AsRef<Path>>(dir: P) -> Result<NamedTempFile>
Create a new temporary file in the specified directory.
fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>
Queries metadata about the underlying file.
fn set_len(&self, size: u64) -> Result<()>
Truncate the file to size
bytes.
fn path(&self) -> &Path
Get the temporary file's path.
SECURITY WARNING: Only use this method if you're positive that a temporary file cleaner won't have deleted your file. Otherwise, the path returned by this method may refer to an attacker controlled file.
fn close(self) -> Result<()>
Close and remove the temporary file.
Use this if you want to detect errors in deleting the file.
fn persist<P: AsRef<Path>>(self, new_path: P) -> Result<File, PersistError>
Persist the temporary file at the target path.
If a file exists at the target path, persist will atomically replace it. If this method
fails, it will return self
in the resulting PersistError.
Note: Temporary files cannot be persisted across filesystems.
SECURITY WARNING: Only use this method if you're positive that a temporary file cleaner won't have deleted your file. Otherwise, you might end up persisting an attacker controlled file.
