#ifndef TEMPFILE_H

#include "list.h"
/*
* Handle temporary files.
*
* The tempfile API allows temporary files to be created, deleted, and
* atomically renamed. Temporary files that are still active when the
* program ends are cleaned up automatically. Lockfiles (see
* "lockfile.h") are built on top of this API.
*
*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
*
* The caller:
*
* * Attempts to create a temporary file by calling
* `create_tempfile()`. The resources used for the temporary file are
* managed by the tempfile API.
*
* * Writes new content to the file by either:
*
* * writing to the `tempfile->fd` file descriptor
*
* * calling `fdopen_tempfile()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the
* open file and writing to the file using stdio.
*
* Note that the file descriptor created by create_tempfile()
* is marked O_CLOEXEC, so the new contents must be written by
* the current process, not any spawned one.
*
* When finished writing, the caller can:
*
* * Close the file descriptor and remove the temporary file by
* calling `delete_tempfile()`.
*
* * Close the temporary file and rename it atomically to a specified
* filename by calling `rename_tempfile()`. This relinquishes
* control of the file.
*
* * Close the file descriptor without removing or renaming the
* temporary file by calling `close_tempfile_gently()`, and later call
* `delete_tempfile()` or `rename_tempfile()`.
*
* After the temporary file is renamed or deleted, the `tempfile`
* object is no longer valid and should not be reused.
*
* If the program exits before `rename_tempfile()` or
* `delete_tempfile()` is called, an `atexit(3)` handler will close
* and remove the temporary file.
*
* If you need to close the file descriptor yourself, do so by calling
* `close_tempfile_gently()`. You should never call `close(2)` or `fclose(3)`
* yourself, otherwise the `struct tempfile` structure would still
* think that the file descriptor needs to be closed, and a later
* cleanup would result in duplicate calls to `close(2)`. Worse yet,
* if you close and then later open another file descriptor for a
* completely different purpose, then the unrelated file descriptor
* might get closed.
*
*
* Error handling
* --------------
*
* `create_tempfile()` returns an allocated tempfile on success or NULL
* on failure. On errors, `errno` describes the reason for failure.
*
* `rename_tempfile()` and `close_tempfile_gently()` return 0 on success.
* On failure they set `errno` appropriately and return -1.
* `delete_tempfile()` and `rename` (but not `close`) do their best to
* delete the temporary file before returning.

*
* The following functions attempt to create and open temporary files
* with names derived automatically from a template, in the manner of
* mkstemps(), and arrange for them to be deleted if the program ends
* before they are deleted explicitly. There is a whole family of such
* functions, named according to the following pattern:
*
* x?mks_tempfile_t?s?m?()
*
* The optional letters have the following meanings:
*
* x - die if the temporary file cannot be created.
*
* t - create the temporary file under $TMPDIR (as opposed to
* relative to the current directory). When these variants are
* used, template should be the pattern for the filename alone,
* without a path.
*
* s - template includes a suffix that is suffixlen characters long.
*
* m - the temporary file should be created with the specified mode
* (otherwise, the mode is set to 0600).
*
* None of these functions modify template. If the caller wants to
* know the (absolute) path of the file that was created, it can be
* read from tempfile->filename.
*
* On success, the functions return a tempfile whose "fd" member is open
* for writing the temporary file. On errors, they return NULL and set
* errno appropriately (except for the "x" variants, which die() on
* errors).
