Description
Generates a unique temporary file.
Call GetTempFileName to generate a new uniquely-named temporary file. GetTempFileName actually creates a zero-sized file in a temporary location and returns its name. The caller must delete the file after it is not used anymore.
Note: GetTempFileName raises an exception if the user has no access to the system's temporary directory.
On Linux, it creates a new file which name is based on GUID in the following format: 'File_%8x%4x%4x%16x_tmp':
- %8x stands for GUID.D1
- %4x stands for GUID.D2
- %4x stands for GUID.D3
- %16x stands for GUID.D4
