Thanks for the inputs. Indeed, depending on any irrelevant files or FreeBSD specified tools both do not sound a good solution. After reading these test cases again, I feel that creating a temp file might be slightly over engineering because in the end we also need to take care of cleaning, in normal and abnormal exiting cases. In these tests, we only need someone calls open(2) and read(2). How about changing them to `cat / > /dev/null` ?
