Tempfile#close

close(unlink_now=false)

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/tempfile.rb, line 168
def close(unlink_now=false)
  _close
  unlink if unlink_now
end

Closes the file. If unlink_now is true, then the file will be unlinked (deleted) after closing. Of course, you can choose to later call unlink if you do not unlink it now.

If you don’t explicitly unlink the temporary file, the removal will be delayed until the object is finalized.
