+/* Temporary directories and temporary files should be automatically removed
+ when the program exits either normally or through a fatal signal. We can't
+ rely on the "unlink before close" idiom, because it works only on Unix and
+ also - if no signal blocking is used - leaves a time window where a fatal
+ signal would not clean up the temporary file.
+
+ Also, open file descriptors need to be closed before the temporary files
+ and the temporary directories can be removed, because only on Unix
+ (excluding Cygwin) can one remove directories containing open files.
+
+ This module provides support for temporary directories and temporary files
+ inside these temporary directories. Temporary files without temporary
+ directories are not supported here. The temporary directories and files
+ are automatically cleaned up (at the latest) when the program exits or
+ dies from a fatal signal such as SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP, but not if it
+ dies from a fatal signal such as SIGQUIT, SIGKILL, or SIGABRT, SIGSEGV,
+ SIGBUS, SIGILL, SIGFPE.
+
+ For the cleanup in the normal case, programs that use this module need to
+ call 'cleanup_temp_dir' for each successful return of 'create_temp_dir'.
+ The cleanup in the case of a fatal signal such as SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP,
+ is done entirely automatically by the functions of this module. */
