Struct TempFile 

pub struct TempFile(/* private fields */);

A temporary file.

A temporary file, generated with tempfile crate.

Methods from Deref<Target = NamedTempFile>

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

Get the temporary file’s path.

Security

Referring to a temporary file’s path may not be secure in all cases. Please read the security section on the top level documentation of this type for details.

Examples

use tempfile::NamedTempFile;

let file = NamedTempFile::new()?;

println!("{:?}", file.path());

pub fn as_file(&self) -> &F

Get a reference to the underlying file.

pub fn reopen(&self) -> Result<File, Error>

Securely reopen the temporary file.

This function is useful when you need multiple independent handles to the same file. It’s perfectly fine to drop the original NamedTempFile while holding on to Files returned by this function; the Files will remain usable. However, they may not be nameable.

Errors

If the file cannot be reopened, Err is returned.

Security

Unlike File::open(my_temp_file.path()), NamedTempFile::reopen() guarantees that the re-opened file is the same file, even in the presence of pathological temporary file cleaners.

Examples

use tempfile::NamedTempFile;

let file = NamedTempFile::new()?;

let another_handle = file.reopen()?;
