42 * Document-method: mkdtemp
44 * Dir.mkdtemp([string]) -> string
45 * Dir.mkdtemp([string]) { ... } -> string
47 * This method securely creates temporary directories. It is a wrapper for the
48 * <code>mkdtemp()</code> function in the standard C library. It takes an
49 * optional String parameter as a template describing the desired form of the
50 * directory name and overwriting the template in-place; if no template is
51 * supplied then "/tmp/temp.XXXXXX" is used as a default.
53 * If supplied a block, performs a <code>Dir.chdir</code> into the created
54 * directory and yields to the block:
56 * # this: # is a shorthand for:
57 * Dir.mkdtemp do # dir = Dir.mkdtemp
58 * puts Dir.pwd # Dir.chdir dir do
62 * Note that the exact implementation of <code>mkdtemp()</code> may vary
63 * depending on the target system. For example, on Mac OS X at the time of
64 * writing, the man page states that the template may contain "some number" of
65 * "Xs" on the end of the string, whereas on Red Hat Enterprise Linux it states
66 * that the template suffix "must be XXXXXX".
68 * @param [String] optional template string
69 * @return [String, nil] the filled-in template string, or nil in the event of
