I heard of it decades ago, at which point it became obvious, so you must be a young'un. A common justification is that it means the file disappears when the program terminates, so you don't have to catch all exit and signal paths to delete the file. And the file is gone even if your program receives an uncatchable signal. -- Christopher Vance _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
