  <dd>
    
    <p>Returns the temporary directory of the current user for applications to save temporary files in.</p>
<p>On Windows, it calls <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-gettemppathw">GetTempPath</a>. On Posix based platforms, it will check <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Identifier">TMPDIR</span></span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Identifier">TEMP</span></span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Identifier">TMP</span></span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Identifier">TEMPDIR</span></span></tt> environment variables in order. On all platforms, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Operator">/</span><span class="Identifier">tmp</span></span></tt> will be returned if the procs fails.</p>
<p>You can override this implementation by adding <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Operator">-</span><span class="Identifier">d</span><span class="Punctuation">:</span><span class="Identifier">tempDir</span><span class="Operator">=</span><span class="Identifier">mytempname</span></span></tt> to your compiler invocation.</p>
