%% @doc Simple temporary file handling, deletes the file when the calling process
%% stops or crashes. If a file is created then a watchdog process is started to
%% monitor the calling process. If the calling process is stopped or crashes then
%% the file is deleted.
%%
%% Periodically call cleanup/0 to delete temporary files older than 24 hours.
%%
%% Temporary files are created in the directory specified by the TMP or TEMP environment
%% variable, or /tmp if none is set.
