        use java.nio.Files.createTempFile()

        Create a temporary file in a given directory.

        The file denoted by the returned abstract pathname did not exist before this method was invoked, any subsequent invocation of this method will yield a different file name.

        The filename is prefixNNNNNsuffix where NNNN is a random number

        This method is different to File.createTempFile(String, String, File) as it doesn't create the file itself. It uses the location pointed to by java.io.tmpdir when the parentDir attribute is null.

        To automatically delete the file created by this method, use the File.deleteOnExit() method.

        Parameters:
        prefix - prefix before the random number
        suffix - file extension; include the '.'
        parentDir - directory to create the temporary file in -java.io.tmpdir used if not specified
        Returns:
