\title{Create names for temporary files}
\usage{
file_temp(pattern = "file", tmp_dir = tempdir(), ext = "")

file_temp_push(path)

file_temp_pop()

path_temp(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{pattern}{A character vector with the non-random portion of the name.}

\item{tmp_dir}{The directory the file will be created in.}

\item{ext}{The file extension of the temporary file.}

\item{path}{A character vector of one or more paths.}

\item{...}{Additional paths appended to the temporary directory by \code{path()}.}
}
\description{
\code{file_temp()} returns the name which can be used as a temporary file.
}
\details{
\code{file_temp_push()} can be used to supply deterministic entries in the
temporary file stack. This can be useful for reproducibility in like example
documentation and vignettes.

\code{file_temp_pop()} can be used to explicitly remove an entry from the
internal stack, however generally this is done instead by calling
\code{file_temp()}.

\code{path_temp()} constructs a path within the session temporary directory.
}
\examples{
\dontshow{file_temp_push("/tmp/filedd461c46df20")}

path_temp()
path_temp("does-not-exist")

file_temp()
file_temp(ext = "png")
file_temp("image", ext = "png")


# You can make the temp file paths deterministic
file_temp_push(letters)
file_temp()
file_temp()

# Or explicitly remove values
while (!is.null(file_temp_pop())) next
file_temp_pop()
