Where to save stuff (in snap-agnostic way)

[XiaoGuo Liu]

Sorry,

I just found that each snap has its own "tmp" directory created in the /tmp
directory of the system. I just created a file, and it looks like:

root at liuxg:/tmp/snap.1000_snap.hello.fifo_TovLTW/tmp# ls
anothefile

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo
