GLib.file_open_tmp

function file_open_tmp(tmpl: String): [return_value: Number(gint), name_used: String] {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_file_open_tmp()
}
  

Opens a file for writing in the preferred directory for temporary files (as returned by GLib.get_tmp_dir).

tmpl should be a string in the GLib file name encoding containing a sequence of six 'X' characters, as the parameter to GLib.mkstemp. However, unlike these functions, the template should only be a basename, no directory components are allowed. If template is null, a default template is used.

Note that in contrast to GLib.mkstemp (and mkstemp()) tmpl is not modified, and might thus be a read-only literal string.

Upon success, and if name_used is non-null, the actual name used is returned in name_used. This string should be freed with GLib.free when not needed any longer. The returned name is in the GLib file name encoding.
