[1] It may be created by computer programs for a variety of purposes, such as when a program cannot allocate enough memory for its tasks, when the program is working on data bigger than the architecture's address space, or as a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmpfs

    Some Linux distributions (e.g. Debian) do not have a tmpfs mounted on /tmp by default; in this case, files under /tmp will be stored in the same file system as /. And on almost all Linux distributions, a tmpfs is mounted on /run/ or /var/run/ to store temporary run-time files such as PID files and Unix domain sockets.

    In Unix and Linux, the global temporary directories are /tmp and /var/tmp. Web browsers periodically write data to the tmp directory during page views and downloads. Typically, /var/tmp is for persistent files (as it may be preserved over reboots), and /tmp is for more temporary files. See Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

    Architecture A complete specification is intended to consist of a platform-specific protection profile which references a common three part TPM 1.2 library. [5] In practice, only a PC Client protection profile was created for TPM 1.2. Protection profiles for PDA and cellular were intended to be defined, [5] but were never published.
