currently a mkiv run generates:

.tui -> becomes .tuo
.tua -> becomes .tuc

and the context script generates a .top file with options

then there is

.pdf
.log

now, the tui/tuo pair will go away once all multipass info is stored in 
the tua/tuc files

that leaves:

jobname.tex (mandate)
jobname.tua (old multipass)
jobname.tuc (new multipass)
jobname.top (job options)
jobname.pdf (result, mandate)
jobname.log (mandate, no way in tex to turn it off)

so, it's not that many files at all; ok, i can try to save one of the 
multipass files (for which i need random access in the file which might 
be a problem on some os's) and deleting the job/log file can be an 
option too (as in texexec) but there will always be multipass data (till 
the moment that we have multiple runs in mem, which is on the agenda for 
many year sfrom now)

Buffers are stored in memory but you need external files for the references,
lists (table of content, figures ...).

Not for me.

You could ask for a parameter in cont-sys.tex or a similiar file.

Under mkiv I use
#>   context --purgeall
It deletes all *run, *tui, *top, *log

How to ged rid of temporary files, forever?

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi,

I have a folder where I store my tex sources and generated pdfs. The 
problem is that now it is overflooded with temporary files (top, 
tuo,log,...).

I remember Hans wrote somewhere that LuaTeX will hold temporary files in 
memory... But they are still there, on the disk.

Yes, I know the --purge-all option, but it is too long to write "context 
filename --purge-all ", isn't it?

It would be very nice if we could set an option somewhere (for example, 
in the registry) to NOT generate temporary files, and even log files (I 
never use them).

Best regards,
Vyatcheslav Yastkovsky
