Write Atomic was originally a stripped-down remake of [`tempfile-fast`](https://crates.io/crates/tempfile-fast), but with the `3.4.0` release of [`tempfile`](https://crates.io/crates/tempfile), it has largely been mooted.

(`tempfile` now supports Linux optimizations like `O_TMPFILE` natively.)

That said, one might still enjoy the ergonomic single-shot nature of Write Atomic's [`write_file`] and [`copy_file`] methods, as well as their permission/ownership-syncing behaviors, and so it lives on!

## Examples

```no_run
// One line is all it takes:
write_atomic::write_file("/path/to/my-file.txt", b"Some data!").unwrap();
```
