pub fn temp_dir() -> PathBuf
Expand description
Returns the path of a temporary directory.
The temporary directory may be shared among users, or between processes with different privileges; thus, the creation of any files or directories in the temporary directory must use a secure method to create a uniquely named file. Creating a file or directory with a fixed or predictable name may result in “insecure temporary file” security vulnerabilities. Consider using a crate that securely creates temporary files or directories.
§Platform-specific behavior
On Unix, returns the value of the TMPDIR
environment variable if it is
set, otherwise for non-Android it returns /tmp
. On Android, since there
is no global temporary folder (it is usually allocated per-app), it returns
/data/local/tmp
.
On Windows, the behavior is equivalent to that of GetTempPath2
/
GetTempPath
, which this function uses internally.
Note that, this may change in the future.
use std::env;
fn main() {
let dir = env::temp_dir();
println!("Temporary directory: {}", dir.display());
