Computer hardware is designed to exploit the behaviour of temporary data: a cache or register file may contain temporaries internally to a microprocessor, such that they never need to be committed to main memory (hence consuming no external memory bandwidth). Temporary variable In computer
Temporary file memory to pass data among programs, but often the simplest way (especially for programs that follow the Unix philosophy) is to write data into a temporary file and inform the receiving program of the location of the temporary file. On POSIX systems, temporary files can be safely created with the or library functions. Some systems provide the former POSIX (now removed) program. These files are typically located in the standard temporary directory, /tmp on Unix machines or %TEMP% (which is log-in specific) on Windows machines. A temporary file created with is deleted automatically when the program exits or the file
