It opens a stream for that file and returns the stream. The +stream is created with the +.code open-file +mode +.strn w+b . +When the stream is closed, or the \*(TX image terminates, the file is deleted. + +Note: the +.code tmpfile +function is implemented using the same-named ISO C and POSIX library function. +On POSIX systems of sufficient quality, +.code tmpfile +deletes the file before returning the open stream, such that the file object +continues to exist while the stream is open, but is not known by any name +in the file system.
