undoing unlink(2)?

[Chris Grevstad]

Running 4.2BSD on Integrated Solutions 68000 machine.

In many programs, there is a need of a temporary file that goes away
when the program exits.  This is usally accomplished by unlinking
the file after a successful open() or fopen().

What I am interested in is a way to undo the unlink() or in some
manner relink the file into the directory.  I understand that VMS
has a flag to open() that indicates the file should be unlink on close().
That would suit me just fine here.

Please E-Mail any suggestions.

Thanks.
