In general, it's the directory specified by the first one of the
following that is specified:
1) The directory specified by the -T global option.
2) The value of the $TMPDIR environment variable.
3) The default directory specified in options.h (which is /tmp unless
you've changed it).
4) /tmp.
Unless, of course, your system doesn't provide a library function for
creating temporary files in a particular directory (mkstemp(),
tempnam(), or mktemp()). In that case, it's whatever tmpnam(3) says.
