/* Temporary directories and temporary files should be automatically removed
   when the program exits either normally or through a fatal signal.  We can't
   rely on the "unlink before close" idiom, because it works only on Unix and
   also - if no signal blocking is used - leaves a time window where a fatal
   signal would not clean up the temporary file.

   Also, open file descriptors need to be closed before the temporary files
   and the temporary directories can be removed, because only on Unix
   (excluding Cygwin) can one remove directories containing open files.

   This module provides support for temporary directories and temporary files
   inside these temporary directories.  Temporary files without temporary
   directories are not supported here.  */
