Purpose

Used to specify the full path name of a directory to be used by the SYS(3) function for temporary file creation

Description

The DB_TMPDIR environment variable is used to define a directory that will be used by the SYS(3) function for temporary file creation. If DB_TMPDIR is not defined, SYS(3) returns a unique file name without path information. Defining DB_TMPDIR causes this directory to be included in the return value from SYS(3). Please note that the DB_TMPDIR value should include a trailing directory separator.


Example

? getenv([DB_TMPDIR])
/usr/tmp/
? sys(3)
/usr/tmp/000cf30006
