DESCRIPTION

 

Temporary files are created and stored in the directory specified for temporary files by the OS by default. You can change this location by calling ixSetLocationForTemporaryFiles to whichever directory / disk you prefer. You can obtain the path where temporary files are stored and created by calling ixGetLocationForTemporaryFiles. The buffer pointed to by PathName will be filled out with a 0 terminated string (C-String) which specifies the name of this directory. Note: be sure that the buffer specified by PathName is large enough to hold any possible path returned.
