Temporary files that are still active when the 12 * program ends are cleaned up automatically. Lockfiles (see 13 * "lockfile.h") are built on top of this API. 14 * 15 * 16 * Calling sequence 17 * ---------------- 18 * 19 * The caller: 20 * 21 * * Attempts to create a temporary file by calling 22 * `create_tempfile()`. The resources used for the temporary file are 23 * managed by the tempfile API. 24 * 25 * * Writes new content to the file by either: 26 * 27 * * writing to the `tempfile->fd` file descriptor 28 * 29 * * calling `fdopen_tempfile()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the 30 * open file and writing to the file using stdio. 31 * 32 * Note that the file descriptor created by create_tempfile() 33 * is marked O_CLOEXEC, so the new contents must be written by 34 * the current process, not any spawned one. 35 * 36 * When finished writing, the caller can: 37 * 38 * * Close the file descriptor and remove the temporary file by 39 * calling `delete_tempfile()`. 40 * 41 * * Close the temporary file and rename it atomically to a specified 42 * filename by calling `rename_tempfile()`. This relinquishes 43 * control of the file. 44 * 45 * * Close the file descriptor without removing or renaming the 46 * temporary file by calling `close_tempfile_gently()`, and later call 47 * `delete_tempfile()` or `rename_tempfile()`. 48 * 49 * After the temporary file is renamed or deleted, the `tempfile` 50 * object is no longer valid and should not be reused. 51 * 52 * If the program exits before `rename_tempfile()` or 53 * `delete_tempfile()` is called, an `atexit(3)` handler will close 54 * and remove the temporary file. 55 * 56 * If you need to close the file descriptor yourself, do so by calling 57 * `close_tempfile_gently()`. You should never call `close(2)` or `fclose(3)` 58 * yourself, otherwise the `struct tempfile` structure would still 59 * think that the file descriptor needs to be closed, and a later 60 * cleanup would result in duplicate calls to `close(2)`. Worse yet, 61 * if you close and then later open another file descriptor for a 62 * completely different purpose, then the unrelated file descriptor 63 * might get closed. 64 * 65 * 66 * Error handling 67 * -------------- 68 * 69 * `create_tempfile()` returns an allocated tempfile on success or NULL 70 * on failure. On errors, `errno` describes the reason for failure. 71 * 72 * `rename_tempfile()` and `close_tempfile_gently()` return 0 on success. 73 * On failure they set `errno` appropriately and return -1. 74 * `delete_tempfile()` and `rename` (but not `close`) do their best to 75 * delete the temporary file before returning. 76 */ 77 78struct tempfile { 79volatilestruct volatile_list_head list; 80volatilesig_atomic_t active; 81volatileint fd; 82FILE*volatile fp; 83volatile pid_t owner; 84struct strbuf filename; 85}; 86 87/* 88 * Attempt to create a temporary file at the specified `path`.
