Description

Write files atomically from Python on POSIX systems by using temporary files and replacement patterns that reduce the risk of partial writes. It helps applications update configuration, caches, and generated files more safely.

Atomic replacement does not replace backups, validation, or permission checks. Validate content before replacing important files and handle filesystem errors explicitly.
