/// A directory in the filesystem that is automatically deleted when
/// it goes out of scope.
///
/// The [`TempDir`] type creates a directory on the file system that
/// is deleted once it goes out of scope. At construction, the
/// `TempDir` creates a new directory with a randomly generated name.
///
/// The default constructor, [`TempDir::new()`], creates directories in
/// the location returned by [`std::env::temp_dir()`], but `TempDir`
/// can be configured to manage a temporary directory in any location
/// by constructing with a [`Builder`].
///
/// After creating a `TempDir`, work with the file system by doing
/// standard [`std::fs`] file system operations on its [`Path`],
/// which can be retrieved with [`TempDir::path()`]. Once the `TempDir`
/// value is dropped, the directory at the path will be deleted, along
/// with any files and directories it contains. It is your responsibility
/// to ensure that no further file system operations are attempted
/// inside the temporary directory once it has been deleted.
///
/// # Resource Leaking
///
/// Various platform-specific conditions may cause `TempDir` to fail
/// to delete the underlying directory. It's important to ensure that
/// handles (like [`File`] and [`ReadDir`]) to files inside the
/// directory are dropped before the `TempDir` goes out of scope. The
/// `TempDir` destructor will silently ignore any errors in deleting
/// the directory; to instead handle errors call [`TempDir::close()`].
///
/// Note that if the program exits before the `TempDir` destructor is
/// run, such as via [`std::process::exit()`], by segfaulting, or by
/// receiving a signal like `SIGINT`, then the temporary directory
/// will not be deleted.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Create a temporary directory with a generated name:
///
/// ```
/// use std::fs::File;
/// use std::io::Write;
/// use tempfile::TempDir;
///
/// # use std::io;
/// # fn run() -> Result<(), io::Error> {
/// // Create a directory inside of `std::env::temp_dir()`
/// let tmp_dir = TempDir::new()?;
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Create a temporary directory with a prefix in its name:
///
/// ```
/// use std::fs::File;

/// use tempfile::Builder;
///
/// # use std::io;
/// # fn run() -> Result<(), io::Error> {
/// // Create a directory inside of `std::env::temp_dir()`,
