TMP
and
TMPDIR
environment variables for temporary file directories
The compilation tools use a temporary directory when processing files:
• On Windows platforms, the environment variable
TMP
is used to specify the directory to
be used for temporary files. If
TMP
is not defined, or if it is set to the name of a directory
that does not exist, temporary files are created in the current working directory.
• On Red Hat Linux platforms, the environment variable
TMPDIR
is used to specify the
directory to be used for temporary files. If
TMPDIR
is not set, a default temporary directory,
usually
/tmp
or
/var/tmp
, is used.
TMP
and
TMPDIR
are typically set up by a system administrator. However, it is permissible for you
to change them.
