(1) | (filesystem TS) |
Returns the directory location suitable for temporary files.

[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
A directory suitable for temporary files. The path is guaranteed to exist and to be a directory. The overload that takes error_code& argument returns an empty path on error.
[edit] Exceptions
The overload that does not take an error_code& parameter throws filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors, constructed with path to be returned as the first argument and the OS error code as the error code argument. std::bad_alloc may be thrown if memory allocation fails. The overload taking an error_code& parameter sets it to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur. This overload hasnoexcept specification:
noexcept
[edit] Notes
On POSIX systems, the path may be the one specified in the environment variables TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP, TEMPDIR, and, if none of them are specified, the path "/tmp" is returned.
On Windows systems, the path is typically the one returned by GetTempPath.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <experimental/filesystem> #include <iostream> namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem; int main() { std::cout << "Temp directory is " << fs::temp_directory_path() << '\n'; }
Possible output:
Temp directory is "C:\Windows\TEMP\"
