Also as @greelgorke said, a large file will bring up problem with keeping
the data in memory.
Streaming the data to a tmp file "/tnp/random-name" is the best bet.
it removes any complexity that might come up then trying to pipe the data
back into a file.
@Thorsten Moeller You should really think about getting the name of the
file before you write any data to it. You will have a stronger program if
you do.
