mktemp - make a unique file name
|
|
SYNTAX
|
|
char *mktemp (template)
|
|
char *template;
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Mktemp replaces the contents of the string pointed to by
|
|
template by a unique file name, and returns the address of
|
|
template. The string in template should look like a file
|
|
name with six trailing Xs; mktemp will replace the Xs with a
|
|
letter and the current process ID. The letter will be
|
|
chosen so that the resulting name does not duplicate an
|
|
existing file.
