std::env::temp_dir - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `temp_dir` fn in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, temp_dir

# 1.0.0[−][src]Function std::env::temp_dir

    pub fn temp_dir() -> PathBuf

Returns the path of a temporary directory.

# Unix

Returns the value of the `TMPDIR` environment variable if it is set, otherwise for non-Android it returns `/tmp`. If Android, since there is no global temporary folder (it is usually allocated per-app), it returns `/data/local/tmp`.

# Windows

Returns the value of, in order, the `TMP`, `TEMP`, `USERPROFILE` environment variable if any are set and not the empty string. Otherwise, `temp_dir` returns the path of the Windows directory. This behavior is identical to that of `GetTempPath`, which this function uses internally.

    use std::env;
    use std::fs::File;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        let mut dir = env::temp_dir();
        dir.push("foo.txt");

        let f = File::create(dir)?;
        Ok(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
