1#ifndef TEMPFILE_H 2#define TEMPFILE_H 3 4/* 5 * Handle temporary files. 6 * 7 * The tempfile API allows temporary files to be created, deleted, and 8 * atomically renamed. Temporary files that are still active when the 9 * program ends are cleaned up automatically. Lockfiles (see 10 * "lockfile.h") are built on top of this API. 11 * 12 * 13 * Calling sequence 14 * ---------------- 15 * 16 * The caller: 17 * 18 * * Allocates a `struct tempfile` either as a static variable or on 19 * the heap, initialized to zeros. Once you use the structure to 20 * call `create_tempfile()`, it belongs to the tempfile subsystem 21 * and its storage must remain valid throughout the life of the 22 * program (i.e. you cannot use an on-stack variable to hold this 23 * structure). 24 * 25 * * Attempts to create a temporary file by calling 26 * `create_tempfile()`. 27 * 28 * * Writes new content to the file by either: 29 * 30 * * writing to the file descriptor returned by `create_tempfile()` 31 * (also available via `tempfile->fd`). 32 * 33 * * calling `fdopen_tempfile()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the 34 * open file and writing to the file using stdio. 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()`, and later call 47 * `delete_tempfile()` or `rename_tempfile()`. 48 * 49 * Even after the temporary file is renamed or deleted, the `tempfile` 50 * object must not be freed or altered by the caller. However, it may 51 * be reused; just pass it to another call of `create_tempfile()`. 52 * 53 * If the program exits before `rename_tempfile()` or 54 * `delete_tempfile()` is called, an `atexit(3)` handler will close 55 * and remove the temporary file. 56 * 57 * If you need to close the file descriptor yourself, do so by calling 58 * `close_tempfile()`. You should never call `close(2)` or `fclose(3)` 59 * yourself, otherwise the `struct tempfile` structure would still 60 * think that the file descriptor needs to be closed, and a later 61 * cleanup would result in duplicate calls to `close(2)`. Worse yet, 62 * if you close and then later open another file descriptor for a 63 * completely different purpose, then the unrelated file descriptor 64 * might get closed. 65 * 66 * 67 * Error handling 68 * -------------- 69 * 70 * `create_tempfile()` returns a file descriptor on success or -1 on 71 * failure. On errors, `errno` describes the reason for failure. 72 * 73 * `delete_tempfile()`, `rename_tempfile()`, and `close_tempfile()` 74 * return 0 on success. On failure they set `errno` appropriately, do 75 * their best to delete the temporary file, and return -1. 76 */ 77 78struct tempfile { 79struct tempfile *volatile next; 80volatilesig_atomic_t active; 81volatileint fd; 82FILE*volatile fp; 83volatile pid_t owner; 84char on_list; 85struct strbuf filename; 86}; 87 88/* 89 * Attempt to create a temporary file at the specified `path`.
