       temporary-file - Golf documentation (files)

DESCRIPTION

       To  create a temporary file, use uniq-file with a "temporary" clause. Temporary files are the same as any
       other files in the file-storage (and are organized in the same fashion), except that they are  all  under
       the subdirectory named "t":

           /var/lib/gg/<app_name>/app/file/t

       A  temporary  file  is  not automatically deleted - you can remove it with delete-file statement when not
       needed (or use a periodic shell script to remove old temporary files). The reason for this  is  that  the
       nature  of  temporary  files  varies,  and  they  may  not necessarily span a given time frame (such as a
       lifetime of a request, or a lifetime of a process that serves any number of such requests), and they  may
       be  used  across  number  of requests for a specific purpose. Thus, it is your responsibility to remove a
       temporary file when it's appropriate for your application to do so.

       The reason for storing temporary files in a separate directory is to gain a separation of temporary files
       (which likely at some point can be freely deleted) from other files.

       See uniq-file for an example of creating a temporary file.
