tempfile2

Make a temporary file in a temporary (sub-)directory

A collection of high-level, machine- and OS-independent tools
for making reproducible and reusable content in R.
The two workhorse functions are 'Cache()' and 'prepInputs()'.
'Cache()' allows for nested caching, is robust to environments and objects
with environments (like functions), and deals with some classes of
file-backed R objects e.g., from 'terra' and 'raster' packages.
Both functions have been developed to be foundational components of data
retrieval and processing in continuous workflow situations. In both functions,
efforts are made to make the first and subsequent calls of functions have
the same result, but faster at subsequent times by way of checksums
and digesting. Several features are still under development, including
cloud storage of cached objects allowing for sharing between users. Several
advanced options are available, see '?reproducibleOptions()'.

tempfile2 function

<dl><dt>sub</dt>
<dd>Character string, length 1. Can be a result of
<code>file.path("smth", "smth2")</code> for nested temporary subdirectories.
If the zero length character, then a random sub-directory will be created.</dd>
<dt>tempdir</dt>
<dd>Optional character string where the temporary
directory should be placed. Defaults to <code>getOption("reproducible.tempPath")</code>.</dd>
<dt>...</dt>
<dd>passed to <code>tempfile</code>, e.g., <code>fileext</code></dd></dl>
