The TemporaryDirectory procedure attempts to return a directory suitable for storing temporary files.

If no suitable directory is found, the empty string is returned.

$''/tmp/mpldoc2''$

$\mathrm{FileTools}:-\mathrm{IsDirectory}\left(\mathrm{FileTools}:-\mathrm{TemporaryDirectory}\left(\right)\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

The FileTools[TemporaryDirectory] command was introduced in Maple 16.
