Subject: bug#19858: 25.0.50; Docstring bug in make-temp-name
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:57:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y4o1wk3o.fsf@wmi.amu.edu.pl> (raw)
The docstring for `make-temp-file' says (among other things):
"For that reason, you should
probably use `make-temp-file' instead, except in three circumstances:
* If you are creating the file in the user's home directory.
* If you are creating a directory rather than an ordinary file."
However, `make-temp-file' actually can create directories, so the second
point in the above quote is unnecessary and misleading.
Best regards,
