tempname

tempname()

Generate a unique temporary file path.

Examples

Generate a unique temporary file path:
```
julia> temp_path = tempname()
"/tmp/jl_7j7J9P"
```
The tempname() function generates a unique temporary file path that can be used for temporary file operations.
Create a temporary file using the generated path:
```
julia> temp_path = tempname()
"/tmp/jl_7j7J9P"

julia> open(temp_path, "w") do file
          write(file, "Hello, world!")
      end
13
```
This example demonstrates how to create and write to a temporary file using the generated path.
Generate multiple unique temporary file paths:
```
julia> for i in 1:5
          println(tempname())
      end
/tmp/jl_7j7J9P
/tmp/jl_7j7J9P
/tmp/jl_7j7J9P
/tmp/jl_7j7J9P
/tmp/jl_7j7J9P
```
The tempname() function can be called multiple times to generate multiple unique temporary file paths.

Common mistake example:

julia> temp_path = tempname
"/tmp/jl_7j7J9P"

In this example, the mistake is not calling the tempname() function with parentheses. It's important to include the parentheses to invoke the function and retrieve the unique temporary file path.
