/**
* The KTempDir class creates a unique directory for temporary use.
*
* This is especially useful if you need to create a directory in a world
* writable directory like /tmp without being vulnerable to so called
* symlink attacks.
*
* KDE applications, however, shouldn't create files or directories in /tmp in the first
* place but use the "tmp" resource instead. The standard KTempDir
* constructor will do that by default.
*
* To create a temporary directory that starts with a certain name
* in the "tmp" resource, one should use:
* KTempDir(locateLocal("tmp", prefix));
*
* KTempFile does not create any missing directories, but locateLocal() does.
*
* See also KStandardDirs
