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.
