118/// A directory in the filesystem that is automatically deleted when
119/// it goes out of scope.
120///
121/// The [`TempDir`] type creates a directory on the file system that
122/// is deleted once it goes out of scope. At construction, the
123/// `TempDir` creates a new directory with a randomly generated name.
124///
125/// The default constructor, [`TempDir::new()`], creates directories in
126/// the location returned by [`std::env::temp_dir()`], but `TempDir`
127/// can be configured to manage a temporary directory in any location
128/// by constructing with a [`Builder`].
129///
130/// After creating a `TempDir`, work with the file system by doing
131/// standard [`std::fs`] file system operations on its [`Path`],
132/// which can be retrieved with [`TempDir::path()`]. Once the `TempDir`
133/// value is dropped, the directory at the path will be deleted, along
134/// with any files and directories it contains. It is your responsibility
135/// to ensure that no further file system operations are attempted
136/// inside the temporary directory once it has been deleted.
137///
138/// # Resource Leaking
139///
140/// Various platform-specific conditions may cause `TempDir` to fail
141/// to delete the underlying directory. It's important to ensure that
142/// handles (like [`File`] and [`ReadDir`]) to files inside the
143/// directory are dropped before the `TempDir` goes out of scope. The
144/// `TempDir` destructor will silently ignore any errors in deleting
145/// the directory; to instead handle errors call [`TempDir::close()`].
146///
147/// Note that if the program exits before the `TempDir` destructor is
148/// run, such as via [`std::process::exit()`], by segfaulting, or by
149/// receiving a signal like `SIGINT`, then the temporary directory
150/// will not be deleted.
151///
152/// # Examples
153///
154/// Create a temporary directory with a generated name:
155///
156/// ```
157/// use std::fs::File;
158/// use std::io::Write;
159/// use tempfile::TempDir;
160///
161/// # use std::io;
162/// # fn run() -> Result<(), io::Error> {
163/// // Create a directory inside of `std::env::temp_dir()`
164/// let tmp_dir = TempDir::new()?;
165/// # Ok(())
166/// # }
167/// ```
168///
169/// Create a temporary directory with a prefix in its name:
170///
171/// ```
172/// use std::fs::File;
173/// use std::io::Write;
174/// use tempfile::Builder;
175///
176/// # use std::io;
177/// # fn run() -> Result<(), io::Error> {
178/// // Create a directory inside of `std::env::temp_dir()`,
179/// // whose name will begin with 'example'.
180/// let tmp_dir = Builder::new().prefix("example").tempdir()?;
181/// # Ok(())
