# go-safetemp [![Godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashcorp/go-safetemp?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-safetemp) Functions for safely working with temporary directories and files. ## Why? The Go standard library provides the excellent `ioutil` package for working with temporary directories and files. This library builds on top of that to provide safe abstractions above that.
