does importing a trace file via FN_TRACE_GETTABLE use the tempDB?

i need to look at some large trace files (3 - 8 Gig). The drive that
has the tempDB on is is small..currently has < 2 G of free space on
it.
does the FN_TRACE_GETTABLE() function route the import through the
tempDB?
if so is there a way to avoid this?
I don't want to choke the root drive of the server importing this...I have not seen it being spooled on a simple select into from a trace file
but you might just want to keep an eye on it.
