+ * The KTempDir class creates a unique directory for temporary use.
+ *
+ * This is especially useful if you need to create a directory in a world
+ * writable directory like /tmp without being vulnerable to so called
+ * symlink attacks.
+ *
+ * KDE applications, however, shouldn't create files or directories in /tmp in the first
+ * place but use the "tmp" resource instead. The standard KTempDir
+ * constructor will do that by default.
+ *
+ * To create a temporary directory that starts with a certain name
+ * in the "tmp" resource, one should use:
+ * KTempDir(locateLocal("tmp", prefix));
+ *
+ * KTempFile does not create any missing directories, but locateLocal() does.
+ *
+ * See also KStandardDirs
