h1. file-temp

The file-temp library replaces the tempfile library in MRI. It has several advantages over MRI's tempfile library.

* Relies on your system's _mkstemp()_ function, so no race conditions.
* Improved security, using _umask()_ to restrict permissions on temporary files.
* Subclasses the File class, giving you all of those methods and a familiar (and better) interface. Only the constructor is different.

<pre>
require 'file/temp'

# Automatically delete the file when finished
fh = FileTemp.new
fh.puts "hello"
fh.close

# Allow the temp file to live on in your FileTemp::TMPDIR directory.
fh = FileTemp.new(false)
fh.puts "world"
fh.close
   
# Specify a custom naming template
FileTemp.new(false, 'my_template_XXXXXX') do |fh|
   fh.puts "test"
