> /tmp/

> The place for small temporary files. This directory is usually mounted as a tmpfs instance, and should hence not be used for larger files. (Use /var/tmp/ for larger files.) This directory is usually flushed at boot-up. Also, files that are not accessed within a certain time may be automatically deleted.
