I think that's a little backwards and would work better as:
tar creates its temporary file in the directory specified by TMPDIR.
If TMPDIR is not specified, or the directory specified therein does not
exist or is not writable, it uses the directory /tmp.
Agreed. You're the second person to mention this.
I just took it from the cpio man page output:
$ man cpio
...
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
variables that affect the execution of cpio: LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, TZ, and NLSPATH.

TMPDIR cpio creates its temporary file in /var/tmp by
default. Otherwise, it uses the directory speci-
fied by TMPDIR.

I'll add a comment to the Bugster CR for the man page change
with your suggested wording, and then let the doc writer go wild.
