Owing to how file unlinking works in UNIX/Linux systems, if a process has a temporary file open when you delete it, it won't be removed until the process terminates. However it's unwise to rely on this when a temporary file might be closed and re-opened, including by a different process. That could lead to unpredictable behaviour because of race conditions. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
