tmpfile(3) OSS Library Calls Reference Manual
NAME
tmpfile - Creates a temporary file
LIBRARY
G-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.SYSnn.ZCRTLSRL
G-series native OSS processes: /G/system/sysnn/zcrtlsrl
H-series and J-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.ZDLLnnn.ZCRTLDLL
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zcrtldll
64-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/ycrtldll
DESCRIPTION
The C run-time library supports two variants of the tmpfile( ) function: tmpfile_oss( ) and
tmpfile_guardian( ). These variants support the unique file-naming conventions and structures of
the OSS and Guardian file systems, respectively. These variants support OSS files that have a file
offset maximum smaller than 2 gigabytes and Guardian files that have a file offset maximum
smaller than 4 gigabytes (Guardian Format 1 files).
For the TNS C runtime library only, the header file maps calls to tmpfile( ) to the variant that
matches the target compilation environment. The target environment is set with the systype
pragma.
Explicit calls to the tmpfile_oss( ) and tmpfile_guardian( ) variants in source code are only
made when the behavior of one environment is desired from the other environment.
For a description of the tmpfile( ) OSS function and the tmpfile_oss( ) function, see the
tmpfile_oss(3) reference page. For a description of the tmpfile( ) Guardian function and the
tmpfile_guardian( ) function, see the tmpfile_guardian(3) reference page. For a description of
equivalent functions that support OSS files that have a file offset maximum larger than 2 giga-
bytes and Guardian files that have a file offset maximum larger than 4 gigabytes (Guardian For-
mat 2 files), see the tmpfile64(3) reference page.
