The behavior is undefined if [name] does not end with the suffix [suff]. *) val chop_extension : string -> string (** Return the given file name without its extension.

If [name] is a valid file name, then [concat (dirname name) (basename name)] returns a file name which is equivalent to [name]. Moreover, after setting the current directory to [dirname name] (with {!Sys.chdir}), references to [basename name] (which is a relative file name) designate the same file as [name] before the call to {!Sys.chdir}.

The base name of the temporary file is formed by concatenating [prefix], then a suitably chosen integer number, then [suffix]. The optional argument [temp_dir] indicates the temporary directory to use, defaulting to the current result of {!Filename.get_temp_dir_name}. The temporary file is created empty, with permissions [0o600] (readable and writable only by the file owner). The file is guaranteed to be different from any other file that existed when [temp_file] was called.

This function is more secure than [temp_file]: there is no risk that the temporary file will be modified (e.g. replaced by a symbolic link) before the program opens it. The optional argument [mode] is a list of additional flags to control the opening of the file. It can contain one or several of [Open_append], [Open_binary], and [Open_text].
