threadSafeTempFile

Character vector giving the initial part of each file name.

pattern

This function is a wrapper around <code><a href="/link/tempfile?package=tractor.base&version=2.5.0" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="tractor.base::tempfile">tempfile</a></code>, which creates temporary file names whose path contains the process ID of the calling process. This avoids clashes between threads created by functions such as <code>mclapply</code> (in the ``parallel'' package), which can easily occur with the standard <code><a href="/link/tempfile?package=tractor.base&version=2.5.0" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="tractor.base::tempfile">tempfile</a></code> function.

The tractor.base package consists of functions for working with magnetic resonance images. It can read and write image files stored in Analyze, NIfTI, MGH and DICOM formats (DICOM support is read only), generate images for use as regions of interest, and manipulate and visualise images.
