Hello,

First i'd like to apologize because this message is about for a new feature
proposal, not a bug.
I send it to the only mail I have found in the man page. Sorry for that.

I just wanted to propose to add the last generate temporary file's full path
in a predefined environment variable.
I can create a patch or send a pull request but I'll first need to know
where your source code is and how can we contribute, even for these kind of
tiny little feature.

Regards,
Matthieu Fronton.

Umm, how do you propose to do that? Child processes cannot modify the environment of the parent. The only way to invoke mktemp is by spawning a child process - but that means that there is no way for mktemp to modify a predefined environment variable. That is, unless you are proposing to add a new shell builtin (so that a child process is not spawned), but then your patch would need to be against the shell (we don't maintain the shell here in coreutils). > I can create a patch or send a pull request but I'll first need to know= > where your source code is and how can we contribute, even for these kin= d of > tiny little feature. You are welcome to try and write a patch, but it sounds fundamentally futile based on how environment variables work. As such, I'm going to close this request as not a bug, but feel free to continue replying on this thread if you have more questions or comments.
