21
The <literal>TMPDIR</literal> constant holds the temporary directory
22
absolute path of a Scilab process. Each Scilab process has its own
23
temporary directory, created and referenced to <literal>TMPDIR</literal>
24
during Scilab startup. The temporary directory is deleted when Scilab
27
<para>The temporary directories are created as subdirectories of the
28
system temporary directory and named SCI_TMP_<unique> where
29
<unique> is some number generated at Scilab startup for the name to
30
be unique. Under GNU/Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X, directory access rights are
31
limited to the Scilab user.
34
The <literal>TMPDIR</literal> constant cannot be altered during
35
Scilab execution. However, under GNU/Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X, the system
36
temporary directory (usually <literal>/tmp</literal>) can be selected by
37
altering the <literal>TMPDIR</literal> system variable.
