/* C programming idea: Handling temporary files like memory allocations (allocating -> creating empty file, using -> locking for R/W, freeing -> deleting). 50% AI, 50% human (the code is tested and reviewed) Warning: The current result is quick and dirty. Not for educational or production purposes.
