 Temporary files are used by applications for different purposes, such as saving state or caching. Unix-style operating systems generally have a '''/tmp/''' directory to hold temporary files, and Windows uses a '''Temp/''' directory beneath the Windows directory. However, temporary files might be created in other places as well.
 Programs might use files with a '''.bak''' extension to store temporary backup copies of the previous version of a file that has been modified (which might be of any format), and files with the '''.tmp''' extension, as well as various extensions with special characters such as $ and _ which rarely occur in file extensions otherwise, might be used for temporary work files of various sorts.
