If the directory can not be created, Err is returned.

§Examples

use tempfile::tempdir_in;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::Write;

// Create a directory inside of the current directory.
let tmp_dir = tempdir_in(".")?;

let file_path = tmp_dir.path().join("my-temporary-note.txt");
let mut tmp_file = File::create(file_path)?;
writeln!(tmp_file, "Brian was here. Briefly.")?;

// `tmp_dir` goes out of scope, the directory as well as
// `tmp_file` will be deleted here.
drop(tmp_file);
tmp_dir.close()?;
