Usually the way this works is you create the tmpfile and immediately unlink it,
so if the process terminates it's not kept lying around.
And on linux, you should use O_TMPFILE which gives you a file that's *never*
been linked.
I do concur that tmp files should only be created in tmp directories, not
$HOME.
