You *could* make an array of temporary files, and register a cleanup function with atexit(), but I do not know if that would be called when closing the window by hitting the x button (after all, this is my favorite way to exit QEmu when I called it with -snapshot).

[Qemu-devel] Location of temporary file for sectors on Windows (XP)
The user manual reads: If you use the option `-snapshot', all disk images are considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in a temporary file created in `/tmp'. On Windows (XP), however, I am getting files of the form s??? in the C:\ directory. This is causing problems at SFU because student accounts dont have write access to the C:\ directory and this seems to be causing Qemu to immediately crash. Note that I do have a directory C:\tmp, but it is not being used for this temporary file. Also, my system has environment variables TMP and TEMP, and these are not being consulted. Then, I entered the following line: set QEMU_TMPDIR=c:\tmp But this also had no effect. Finally, note that the s??? files in my C:\ directory are not being deleted by Qemu, which means an arbitrary amount of space can get taken up by the files over time. Seems like an issue which has not yet been addressed for Windows builds. Thanks, Craig Scratchley, Simon Fraser University p.s. I am now successfully using Qemu for QNX 6.3.0 as a guest (seems I must use the isa option for Qemu to get networking). The loadvm option is great, as QNX is very slow to boot in QNX (it is much faster for me in Bochs). ___ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
