Function
GLibget_tmp_dir
Declaration [src]
const gchar*
g_get_tmp_dir (
void
)
Description [src]
Gets the directory to use for temporary files.
On UNIX, this is taken from the TMPDIR environment variable.
If the variable is not set, P_tmpdir is
used, as defined by the system C library. Failing that, a
hard-coded default of “/tmp” is returned.
On Windows, the TEMP environment variable is used, with the
root directory of the Windows installation (eg: “C:") used
as a default.
The encoding of the returned string is system-defined. On Windows,
it is always UTF-8. The return value is never NULL or the empty string.
