Unlinked temporary files

[drakk...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm going to use this library https://github.com/eikenb/pipeat/ 

it reads/writes from/to an unlinked temporary file, as you can see here:

https://github.com/eikenb/pipeat/blob/master/pipeat.go#L51

the temporary file is removed and then used for I/O operations. 

I ran the test cases on Windows and they work there too.

Is it really safe to assume that an unliked file will work on all supported OS? I was really surprised that this work on Windows,

Thanks!

You are not checking return value of os.Remove in https://github.com/eikenb/pipeat/blob/master/pipeat.go#L51.

That will fail on windows.

You can take look at https://github.com/calebcase/tmpfile, which works on Windows.
