TMPDIR
temporary directory path
Description
The TMPDIR
constant holds the temporary directory
absolute path of a Scilab process. Each Scilab process has its own
temporary directory, created and referenced to TMPDIR
during Scilab startup.
The temporary directories are created as subdirectories of the system temporary directory and named SCI_TMP_<unique> where <unique> is some number generated at Scilab startup for the name to be unique. Under GNU/Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X, directory access rights are limited to the Scilab user.
The TMPDIR
constant cannot be altered during
Scilab execution. However, under GNU/Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X, the system
temporary directory (usually /tmp
) can be selected by
altering the TMPDIR
system variable.
