just a temporary file if you don't replace the old file contents.
Usually, when a program replaces the contents of some file it first opens it for
writing, thus losing all of the old data and then starts recreating it. This
approach is not very safe because during the regeneration of the file bad things
may happen: the program may find that there is an internal error preventing it
from completing file generation, the user may interrupt it (especially if file

This approach is not very safe because during the regeneration of the file bad

it from completing file generation, the user may interrupt it (especially if file
generation takes long time) and, finally, any other external interrupts (power
supply failure or a disk error) will leave you without either the original file
