30.7 Handling files in tests ¶

In this section are described functions to be used to create temporary files; it is a common task to write scripts to manipulate files and directories. All the files should be created under a temporary directory that must be removed after each test function is invoked; the library automatically invokes dotest-clean-files() when exiting (using trap), but it is safer to invoke it at the end of each function that creates files.
