Accessing Files Programmer's Guide: HP 3000 MPE/iX Computer Systems > Chapter 4 Specifying a File DomainTemporary Files |
|
A temporary file is one that already exists, but that is known only to the job or session that created it. Some or all of the space for a temporary file has already been allocated, and its physical characteristics have already been defined. A file in this domain is considered a job temporary file; it was created for some specific purpose by its job or session and may not be needed when the job or session concludes. Like a new file, it vanishes when its creating job or session is over. |
