AllocateTempPathW()

wchar_t* Chusov::String::AllocateTempPathW ( )

noexcept

Allocates and returns an absolute path for a directory used for storing temporary files.

Returns

On success the function returns a pointer to an allocated buffer initialized by a path to the directory for storing temporal files. The path is represented as a wide C string. Use FreeStringW or other free functions of the chsvmem.h header to free the returned buffer after its usage. If the function fails it returns NULL. Use GetLastChsvError to get extended error information.

Remarks

For Windows it is a value of the TEMP environment variable. For Linux and Sun it is a value of TMPDIR variable or an expansion of P_tmpdir macro or "/tmp" directory (the value is tried to be got in this sequence of system calls).
