## API
### temporaryFile(options?)
Get a temporary file path you can write to.
### temporaryFileTask(callback, options?)
The `callback` resolves with a temporary file path you can write to. The file is automatically cleaned up after the callback is executed. Returns a promise that resolves with the return value of the callback after it is executed and the file is cleaned up.
#### callback
Type: `(tempPath: string) => void`
A callback that is executed with the temp file path. Can be asynchronous.
#### options
Type: `object`
*You usually won't need either the `extension` or `name` option. Specify them only when actually needed.*
##### extension
Type: `string`
File extension.
##### name
Type: `string`
Filename. Mutually exclusive with the `extension` option.
### temporaryDirectory(options?)
Get a temporary directory path. The directory is created for you.
### temporaryDirectoryTask(callback, options?)
The `callback` resolves with a temporary directory path you can write to. The directory is automatically cleaned up after the callback is executed. Returns a promise that resolves with the return value of the callback after it is executed and the directory is cleaned up.

Type: `(tempPath: string) => void`
A callback that is executed with the temp directory path. Can be asynchronous.

### temporaryWriteTask(fileContent, callback, options?)
Write data to a random temp file. The file is automatically cleaned up after the callback is executed. Returns a promise that resolves with the return value of the callback after it is executed and the file is cleaned up.
