Where is the temporary database file stored?

According to the [In-memory](https://sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html) documentation:

> When the name of the database file handed to sqlite3_open() or to ATTACH is an empty string, then a new temporary file is created to hold the database.

I'm trying this out, on a Mac, and I've tried with Python and with Deno. I'll use ":memory:" as the name, and "" as the name, and they seem to do the same thing. I don't see a file created on disk in the current directory or in /tmp. Where else should I be looking to see this file get created and automatically deleted?
