.It Fl p Ar directory
|
|
|
|
|
Use the specified
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
|
|
|
as a prefix when generating the temporary filename. The directory will be
|
|
|
|
|
overridden by the user's
|
|
|
|
|
.Ev TMPDIR
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable if it is set. This option implies the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
|
|
|
flag (see below).

Generate a path rooted in a temporary directory.

.It Fl u
|
|
|
|
|
Unlink file before

|
|
.Nm

|
|
|
|
exits. This is slightly better than
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr mktemp 3
|
|
|
|
|
but still introduces a race condition. Use of this option is not encouraged.
