Re: System.IO.openTempFile secure?

Yes. It should be safe. The function generates a new file name and then tries to create file with such name. If it succeded then the file path and handle are returned. If the OS respond with EEXIST then the function tries to generate new name. Cheers, Krasimir On 5/10/05, Isaac Jones wrote:

Is the function System.IO.openTempFile secure in the sense that it picks the filename, tests for its existence, and creates it atomically? Either way, it's important that it's documented in Haddock, IMO.
