file_1 '/var/folders/cx/76l4vlrx20scjnnfm77w5vpr0000gn/T//RtmpTUHgmm/file9c3c57654632'īy default, the file path is relative to the session-specific temporary directory – in this case it is relative to the one from the previous section. That is, the following code will return a path for a generic file within the temporary directory. In contrast to tempdir(), the function tempfile() returns a file relative to a specific directory. Session_2 '/var/folders/cx/76l4vlrx20scjnnfm77w5vpr0000gn/T//RtmpTUHgmm'Īnything that is saved within the temporary directory specified by the path from tempdir() will be unavailable at the start of a new R session. When I restart my R Session, however, and check if that directory exists, I see it does not, but a new temporary directory path does. For example, typing tempdir() returns the following path: session_1 '/var/folders/cx/76l4vlrx20scjnnfm77w5vpr0000gn/T//Rtmp6NRN7s'

That is, when a new R session is initialized, a temporary directory is created, and it lasts only as long as the current R session. Tempdir() returns a character string specifying the path to a session-specific directory.
