tempfile ======== [![Crate](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/tempfile.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/tempfile) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Stebalien/tempfile.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Stebalien/tempfile) [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/5q00b8rvvg46i5tf/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Stebalien/tempfile/branch/master) A secure, cross-platform, temporary file library for Rust. In addition to creating temporary files, this library also allows users to securely open multiple independent references to the same temporary file (useful for consumer/producer patterns and surprisingly difficult to implement securely). [Documentation](https://docs.rs/tempfile/) Usage ----- Minimum required Rust version: 1.24.0 Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] tempfile = "3" ``` ...and this to your crate root: ```rust extern crate tempfile; ``` Example ------- ```rust extern crate tempfile; use std::fs::File; use std::io::{Write, Read, Seek, SeekFrom}; fn main() { // Write let mut tmpfile: File = tempfile::tempfile().unwrap(); write!(tmpfile, "Hello World!").unwrap(); // Seek to start tmpfile.seek(SeekFrom::Start(0)).unwrap(); // Read let mut buf = String::new(); tmpfile.read_to_string(&mut buf).unwrap(); assert_eq!("Hello World!", buf); } ```
