[ug-bosug] Write system call uses /var/tmp/ directory.

[murageshgouda.patil at wipro.com]

Hi All,

 

I putting forward simple question, As I am newbie to this Solaris.

 

I have searched browsed through lot of sites, I didn't get the answer.

 

It's the basic question; Solaris uses /var/tmp/ directory within write
system call for storing temporary data.

 

It might have used /tmp/ directory instead. As of my knowledge I think
both are used for temporary storage.

 

What the basic idea of having "/var/tmp/" directory?

 

And what is the difference between /var/tmp and /tmp directory?

Thanks And Regards
