Questions about temp folder.

[mdadm]

I have some questions about usage temp folder by 7-zip:

1. Is 7zip console use temp folder for any operation on Windows/Mac/Linux?

2. For what operations 7-zip is using temp folder?

3. What will happen when empty space in temp folder will end when 7-zip will be using it, for example:
   a) 7-zip will open big archive (but didn't end this operation) and temp and partition space will also end?
   b) 7-zip will open big archive (and end this operation), but will be updating this archive and temp and partition space will also end?

temp folder can be used for drag and drop extraction opearations to explorer.
Also 7-zip can use temp folder when creating archive with -mx switch for some data, when bcj2 filter is used. -mx enables bcj2 filter.

Thanks Igor for answering to question 2, but questions 1 and 3 remain unanswered.

Question 1 is related to command line 7zip (Linux has it's temp folders in /tmp, /var/tmp, MacOS - echo $TMPDIR).

7-zip can use temp folder for the following command

7z a a.7z -mx files

If required space is not available, it will give error.
