From 99397152a345011c99497b93f8518c7981e811a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:47:44 +0200 Subject: register_tempfile(): new function to handle an existing temporary file Allow an existing file to be registered with the tempfile-handling infrastructure; in particular, arrange for it to be deleted on program exit. This can be used if the temporary file has to be created in a more complicated way than just open(). For example: * If the file itself needs to be created via the lockfile API * If it is not a regular file (e.g., a socket) Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- tempfile.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'tempfile.c') diff --git a/tempfile.c b/tempfile.c index 0b5d8ce929..0af7ebf016 100644 --- a/tempfile.c +++ b/tempfile.c @@ -137,6 +137,14 @@ int create_tempfile(struct tempfile *tempfile, const char *path) return tempfile->fd; } +void register_tempfile(struct tempfile *tempfile, const char *path) +{ + prepare_tempfile_object(tempfile); + strbuf_add_absolute_path(&tempfile->filename, path); + tempfile->owner = getpid(); + tempfile->active = 1; +} + int mks_tempfile_sm(struct tempfile *tempfile, const char *template, int suffixlen, int mode) { -- cgit v1.2.3
