I need to store some data (a few kB) non-persistant.
On a real UNIX I would use /var/run, because after a shutdown all its
content is lost.
But on cygwin /var/run is stored on disk.
I cannot use an environment variable, because different processes need to
read/write the data.
/proc is non-persistant (in respect to a reboot), but It is not a generic
storage place.
What can I use with cygwin instead?
Installing third party software is not an option, it must work with a
standard Windows (and cygwin).
I would think of temp directories, such as /tmp. They can be cleaned out at
will
on restart, no?
