Description
resource 
tmpfile ( void  )
     Creates a temporary file with a unique name in read-write (w+) mode,
     returning a file handle similar to the one returned by
     fopen().
     The file is automatically removed when closed (using
     fclose()), or when the script ends.

     tmpfile(3) function, as well as the
     stdio.h header file.
