package tezt

Get a temporary file name.

For instance:

• file "hello.ml" may return something like "/tmp/tezt-1234/1/hello.ml";
• file "some/dir/hello.ml" may return "/tmp/tezt-1234/1/some/dir/hello.ml";
• file "/dir/hello.ml" may return "/tmp/tezt-1234/1/dir/hello.ml".

This function also creates the directory (and its parents) needed to host the resulting file.

perms is the permissions for parent directories if they are created. Default is 0o755, i.e. rwxr-xr-x.

If runner is specified, the temporary file is registered to be located in this remote runner, which means that it will be removed using SSH by the clean up function.

file base always returns the same result for a given base and for the same process.

Get a temporary file name and create it as a directory.

Allow calls to file and dir until the next clean_up or stop.

Return the main temporary directory, e.g. "/tmp/tezt-1234/1", so that it can be displayed to users.

Calls to file and dir which are made before start result in an error.

Don't call this directly, it is called by Test.run. This prevents you from creating temporary files accidentally before your test actually runs. Indeed, if your test is disabled from the command-line it should not create temporary files. By using Test.run you also ensure that clean_up is called.

Disallow calls to file and dir until the next start.

This can be called in place of clean_up if you want to keep temporary files.

Delete temporary files and directories.

All files which were returned by file are deleted. All directories which were returned by dir are deleted, but only if they did not already exist. All parent directories that were created are then deleted, but only if they are empty.
