# temp:write — Write temporary data file

TEMP:WRITE writes content to a temporary data file and returns its identifier.

If the identifier is omitted, it will implicitly be generated. If the temporary data file does not exist, it will implicitly be created. Otherwise, the existing temporary data file is overwritten.

TEMP:WRITE is the complement of the TEMP:READ operation.
