Purpose

Determines whether the full path is included for temporary file name functions


Syntax

SET TMPNAMPATH ON | OFF | (<expL>)


See Also

DB_TMPDIR, GETENV(), GETGID(), GETUID(), GETPID(), RAND(), SET TMPDIR, SYS(), TMPNAM()


Description

The SET TMPNAMPATH command determines whether the full path is included for the temporary file name functions TMPNAM() and SYS(3). If SET TMPNAMPATH is ON (default), SYS(3) and TMPNAM() will return filenames including the full path. If SET TMPNAMPATH is OFF, only the base filename will be returned. The directory path is determined by the DB_TMPDIR environment variable.

This set command was introduced in Recital 10.0.3.


Example

? getenv([DB_TMPDIR])
/usr/tmp
? tmpnam()
/usr/tmp/_00000a7a0001.tmp
set tmpnampath off
? tmpnam()
_00000a7a0002.tmp
