 All options are optional :)
 
- * `name`: a fixed name that overrides random name generation
- * `mode`: the file mode to create with, it fallbacks to `0600` on file creation and `0700` on directory creation
- * `prefix`: the optional prefix, fallbacks to `tmp-` if not provided
- * `postfix`: the optional postfix, fallbacks to `.tmp` on file creation
- * `template`: [`mkstemp`][3] like filename template, no default
- * `dir`: the optional temporary directory, fallbacks to system default (guesses from environment)
+ * `name`: a fixed name that overrides random name generation, the name must be relative and must not contain path segments
+ * `mode`: the file mode to create with, falls back to `0o600` on file creation and `0o700` on directory creation
+ * `prefix`: the optional prefix, defaults to `tmp`
+ * `postfix`: the optional postfix
+ * `template`: [`mkstemp`][3] like filename template, no default, can be either an absolute or a relative path that resolves 
+ to a relative path of the system's default temporary directory, must include `XXXXXX` once for random name generation, e.g.
+ 'foo/bar/XXXXXX'. Absolute paths are also fine as long as they are relative to os.tmpdir().
+ Any directories along the so specified path must exist, otherwise a ENOENT error will be thrown upon access, 
+ as tmp will not check the availability of the path, nor will it establish the requested path for you.

  * `tries`: how many times should the function try to get a unique filename before giving up, default `3`
  * `keep`: signals that the temporary file or directory should not be deleted on exit, default is `false`
  * In order to clean up, you will have to call the provided `cleanupCallback` function manually.
  * `unsafeCleanup`: recursively removes the created temporary directory, even when it's not empty. default is `false`
+ * `detachDescriptor`: detaches the file descriptor, caller is responsible for closing the file, tmp will no longer try closing the file during garbage collection
+ * `discardDescriptor`: discards the file descriptor (closes file, fd is -1), tmp will no longer try closing the file during garbage collection
