Function
GLibDirmake_tmp
since: 2.30
Description
Creates a subdirectory in the preferred directory for temporary files (as returned by g_get_tmp_dir()).
tmpl should be a string in the GLib file name encoding containing
a sequence of six ‘X’ characters, as the parameter to g_mkstemp().
However, unlike these functions, the template should only be a
basename, no directory components are allowed. If template is
NULL, a default template is used.
Note that in contrast to g_mkdtemp() (and mkdtemp()) tmpl is not
modified, and might thus be a read-only literal string.
Available since: 2.30
