| `TEMP` takes precedence over `TMP`. If neither is set, it defaults to `%SystemRoot%\temp` | ||
| or `%windir%\temp`. | ||

| On non-Windows platforms, `TMPDIR`, `TMP` and `TEMP` environment variables will be checked |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It feels strange to me that TMP and TEMP are checked in different order on Windows and non-Windows platforms. Maybe it would be better to make it consistent, but then that should be done in a different PR.

/var/foldersby default, and I found an article explaining this https://magnusviri.com/what-is-var-folders.htmlTMPDIRseems unconfigured, soos.tmpdir()tends to default to/tmpwhich matches my memory.
