Dotfiles usually created in user's home directory which is in UFS. What I mean is simple processing using temp files, consider running zip or unzip binaries. Proper way will be to sense FS name/abilitites and tune available charset in accordance with them. > > mktemp() makes temp files in any directory including current one. > > Yes, but in practice it's not used that way since you can't write to most > directories on the system except ~ and /tmp and relatives. I don't care about /tmp which is in UFS, I care about current directory. Probably /tmp-prefix sensing code helps to solve this. -- Andrey A.
