33 * Convenience function for temporary file creation.
38 * Create a tempfile with the given prefix (e.g. "wireshark"). The path
39 * is created using g_get_tmp_dir and mkstemp.
41 * @param namebuf If not NULL, receives the full path of the temp file.
43 * @param pfx A prefix for the temporary file.
44 * @return The file descriptor of the new tempfile, from mkstemp().
46 int create_tempfile(char **namebuf, const char *pfx);
49 * Create a directory with the given prefix (e.g. "wireshark"). The path
50 * is created using g_get_tmp_dir and mkdtemp.
52 * @param namebuf If not NULL, receives the full path of the temp directory.
54 * @param pfx A prefix for the temporary directory.
55 * @return The temporary directory path on success, or NULL on failure.
