#include <stdio.h>

FILE ∗tmpfile(void);

DESCRIPTION

tmpfile() creates a temporary file using a name generated by the tmpnam() routine and returns a corresponding FILE pointer.  If the file cannot be opened, a NULL pointer is returned.  The file is automatically deleted when the process using it terminates or when the file is closed.  The file is opened for update (“w+”).
