Subject: inconsistent use of $TMP vs. $TMPDIR
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:06:40 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C9D12E0.9050001@redhat.com> (raw)
I noticed today that various kvm source files are inconsistent on the
use of $TMP vs. $TMPDIR:
$ git grep -l '\$TMP\b' | cat
scripts/Kbuild.include
tools/perf/feature-tests.mak
$ git grep -l '\$TMPDIR\b' | cat
Documentation/lguest/extract
According to POSIX, you should probably be using $TMPDIR instead of $TMP
when referring to the preferred temporary directory location.
