2.3.4 Temporary Files

Using an OPeNDAP client application will create a number of temporary files. They are created with the tmpnam() function, so their names will correspond to the rules for that function on your system (See the manual page for tmpnam(3), or type man tmpnam for more information.) During normal operation, OPeNDAP will delete the temporary files it creates as it goes. However, if execution of the OPeNDAP client is somehow interrupted, these files may remain, and will have to be deleted by hand.
