#ifndef TEMPFILE_H #define TEMPFILE_H #include "list.h" /* * Handle temporary files. * * The tempfile API allows temporary files to be created, deleted, and * atomically renamed. Temporary files that are still active when the * program ends are cleaned up automatically. Lockfiles (see * "lockfile.h") are built on top of this API. * * * Calling sequence * ---------------- * * The caller: * * * Attempts to create a temporary file by calling * `create_tempfile()`. The resources used for the temporary file are * managed by the tempfile API. * * * Writes new content to the file by either: * * * writing to the `tempfile->fd` file descriptor * * * calling `fdopen_tempfile()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the * open file and writing to the file using stdio. * * Note that the file descriptor created by create_tempfile() * is marked O_CLOEXEC, so the new contents must be written by * the current process, not any spawned one. * * When finished writing, the caller can: * * * Close the file descriptor and remove the temporary file by * calling `delete_tempfile()`. * * * Close the temporary file and rename it atomically to a specified * filename by calling `rename_tempfile()`. This relinquishes * control of the file. * * * Close the file descriptor without removing or renaming the * temporary file by calling `close_tempfile_gently()`, and later call * `delete_tempfile()` or `rename_tempfile()`. * * After the temporary file is renamed or deleted, the `tempfile` * object is no longer valid and should not be reused. * * If the program exits before `rename_tempfile()` or * `delete_tempfile()` is called, an `atexit(3)` handler will close * and remove the temporary file. * * If you need to close the file descriptor yourself, do so by calling * `close_tempfile_gently()`. You should never call `close(2)` or `fclose(3)` * yourself, otherwise the `struct tempfile` structure would still * think that the file descriptor needs to be closed, and a later * cleanup would result in duplicate calls to `close(2)`. Worse yet, * if you close and then later open another file descriptor for a * completely different purpose, then the unrelated file descriptor * might get closed. * * * Error handling * -------------- * * `create_tempfile()` returns an allocated tempfile on success or NULL * on failure. On errors, `errno` describes the reason for failure. * * `rename_tempfile()` and `close_tempfile_gently()` return 0 on success. * On failure they set `errno` appropriately and return -1. * `delete_tempfile()` and `rename` (but not `close`) do their best to * delete the temporary file before returning. */ struct tempfile { volatile struct volatile_list_head list; volatile sig_atomic_t active; volatile int fd; FILE *volatile fp; volatile pid_t owner; struct strbuf filename; }; /* * Attempt to create a temporary file at the specified `path`.
