UNIX directories and special device files

The /tmp directory

The /tmp directory contains temporary files created by UNIX system programs. The files are normally present when the corresponding program is running, but may also be left in the directory if the program is prematurely stopped. You can remove any temporary file that does not belong to a running program.
