Hi all!
Frank Küster has rewritten texdoc in luatex and now it really works much better than the original one.
But, we have a problem, the os.tmpname function.
Could you recommend a procedure for creating a temporary DIRECTORY?
os.tmpname already CREATES a file named in the return value, so
tmpdir = os.tmpname(); is_ok_tmpdir,error_string = lfs.mkdir(tmpdir)
does not work.
maybe it opens a file just to be sure that the name is indeed reserved an dnot taken by another process in tne meantime, so os.tmpdir() is needed; i wonder, maybe it makse sense to accept an optional argument that for the root so that one can generate a tmpdir at a specific location i.e. tmpdir("/tmp") or so Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
