path temp_directory_path();
(1) (since C++17) (2) (since C++17)Returns the directory location suitable for temporary files.
[edit] Parameters(none)
[edit] Return valueA directory suitable for temporary files. The path is guaranteed to exist and to be a directory. The overload that takes error_code& argument returns an empty path on error.
[edit] ExceptionsAny overload not marked noexcept
may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.
Throws
std::filesystem::filesystem_erroron underlying OS API errors, constructed with
path to be returnedas the first path argument and the OS error code as the error code argument.
2)Sets a
std::error_code¶meter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes
ec.clear()if no errors occur.
[edit] NotesOn POSIX systems, the path may be the one specified in the environment variables TMPDIR
, TMP
, TEMP
, TEMPDIR
, and, if none of them are specified, the path "/tmp" is returned.
On Windows systems, the path is typically the one returned by GetTempPath
.
#include <filesystem> #include <iostream> namespace fs = std::filesystem; int main() { std::cout << "Temp directory is " << fs::temp_directory_path() << '\n'; }
Possible output:
Temp directory is "C:\Windows\TEMP\"[edit] See also creates and opens a temporary, auto-removing file
