Description-en: Temporary file and directory creator for Node.js
The main difference between node-temp and node-tmp is that node-tmp more
aggressively checks for the existence of the newly created temporary file
and creates the new file with O_EXCL instead of simple O_CREAT | O_RDRW,
so it is safer.
.
The API is slightly different as well, Tmp does not yet provide
synchronous calls and all the parameters are optional.
.
Tmp uses crypto for determining random file names, or, when using templates,
a six letter random identifier. And just in case that you do not have that
much entropy left on your system, Tmp will fall back to pseudo random numbers.
.
You can set whether you want to remove the temporary file on process exit or
not, and the destination directory can also be set.
.
Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
