/*
 * State diagram and cleanup
 * -------------------------
 *
 * If the program exits while a temporary file is active, we want to
 * make sure that we remove it. This is done by remembering the active
 * temporary files in a linked list, `tempfile_list`. An `atexit(3)`
 * handler and a signal handler are registered, to clean up any active
 * temporary files.
 *
 * Because the signal handler can run at any time, `tempfile_list` and
 * the `tempfile` objects that comprise it must be kept in
 * self-consistent states at all times.
 *
 * The possible states of a `tempfile` object are as follows:
 *
 * - Uninitialized. In this state the object's `on_list` field must be
 *   zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized. As
 *   soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably
 *   registered in `tempfile_list`, and `on_list` is set.
 *
 * - Active, file open (after `create_tempfile()` or
 *   `reopen_tempfile()`). In this state:
 *
 *   - the temporary file exists
 *   - `active` is set
 *   - `filename` holds the filename of the temporary file
 *   - `fd` holds a file descriptor open for writing to it
 *   - `fp` holds a pointer to an open `FILE` object if and only if
 *     `fdopen_tempfile()` has been called on the object
 *   - `owner` holds the PID of the process that created the file
 *
 * - Active, file closed (after successful `close_tempfile()`). Same
 *   as the previous state, except that the temporary file is closed,
 *   `fd` is -1, and `fp` is `NULL`.
 *
 * - Inactive (after `delete_tempfile()`, `rename_tempfile()`, a
 *   failed attempt to create a temporary file, or a failed
 *   `close_tempfile()`). In this state:
 *
 *   - `active` is unset
 *   - `filename` is empty (usually, though there are transitory
 *     states in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should
 *     *not* rely on the filename being empty in this state.
 *   - `fd` is -1 and `fp` is `NULL`
 *   - the object is left registered in the `tempfile_list`, and
 *     `on_list` is set.
 *
 * A temporary file is owned by the process that created it. The
 * `tempfile` has an `owner` field that records the owner's PID. This
 * field is used to prevent a forked process from deleting a temporary
 * file created by its parent.
