2 * State diagram and cleanup
3 * -------------------------
5 * If the program exits while a temporary file is active, we want to
6 * make sure that we remove it. This is done by remembering the active
7 * temporary files in a linked list, `tempfile_list`. An `atexit(3)`
8 * handler and a signal handler are registered, to clean up any active
9 * temporary files.
11 * Because the signal handler can run at any time, `tempfile_list` and
12 * the `tempfile` objects that comprise it must be kept in
13 * self-consistent states at all times.
15 * The possible states of a `tempfile` object are as follows:
17 * - Inactive/unallocated. The only way to get a tempfile is via a creation
18 * function like create_tempfile(). Once allocated, the tempfile is on the
19 * global tempfile_list and considered active.
21 * - Active, file open (after `create_tempfile()` or
22 * `reopen_tempfile()`). In this state:
24 * - the temporary file exists
25 * - `filename` holds the filename of the temporary file
26 * - `fd` holds a file descriptor open for writing to it
27 * - `fp` holds a pointer to an open `FILE` object if and only if
28 * `fdopen_tempfile()` has been called on the object
29 * - `owner` holds the PID of the process that created the file
31 * - Active, file closed (after `close_tempfile_gently()`). Same
32 * as the previous state, except that the temporary file is closed,
33 * `fd` is -1, and `fp` is `NULL`.
35 * - Inactive (after `delete_tempfile()`, `rename_tempfile()`, or a
36 * failed attempt to create a temporary file). The struct is removed from
37 * the global tempfile_list and deallocated.
39 * A temporary file is owned by the process that created it. The
40 * `tempfile` has an `owner` field that records the owner's PID. This
41 * field is used to prevent a forked process from deleting a temporary
42 * file created by its parent.
