Temporary file location when using tmpfile () in C

$ man tmpfile He speaks

The standard does not specify the directory that tmpfile () will use. Glibc will try the P_tmpdir path prefix defined in <stdio.h>, and if the / tmp directory doesn’t work.

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64, gcc and libc BTW.

Therefore, when I try to create a temporary file using tmpfile (), I do not see any temporary file in / tmp. (I see # define P_tmpdir "/tmp"in stdio.h). This is the code snippet I used:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    FILE *tmp;

    tmp = tmpfile();                            // Where this file?
    scanf("%*d");

    return 0;
}

$ ./tmpfile
Now that scanf is waiting for the next (redundant) input, I should have seen a temporary file in / tmp. But I can not. So where exactly is this tmpfile created?
