 This function creates a temporary directory using :func:`mkdtemp`
 (the supplied arguments are passed directly to the underlying function).
 The resulting object can be used as a context manager (see
- :ref:`context-managers`). On completion of the context (or destruction
- of the temporary directory object), the newly created temporary directory
+ :ref:`context-managers`). On completion of the context or destruction
+ of the temporary directory object the newly created temporary directory
 and all its contents are removed from the filesystem.
 
- The directory name can be retrieved from the :attr:`name` attribute
- of the returned object.
+ The directory name can be retrieved from the :attr:`name` attribute of the
+ returned object. When the returned object is used as a context manager, the
+ :attr:`name` will be assigned to the target of the :keyword:`as` clause in
+ the :keyword:`with` statement, if there is one.
 
 The directory can be explicitly cleaned up by calling the
 :func:`cleanup` method.
