-.Dt TMPFILE 3
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm tempnam ,
-.Nm tmpfile ,
-.Nm tmpnam
-.Nd temporary file routines
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Fd #include <stdio.h>
-.Ft FILE *
-.Fn tmpfile void
-.Ft char *
-.Fn tmpnam "char *str"
-.Ft char *
-.Fn tempnam "const char *tmpdir" "const char *prefix"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn tmpfile
-function
-returns a pointer to a stream associated with a file descriptor returned
-by the routine
-.Xr mkstemp 3 .
-The created file is unlinked before
-.Fn tmpfile
-returns, causing the file to be automatically deleted when the last
-reference to it is closed.
-The file is opened with the access value
-.Ql w+ .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn tmpnam
-function
-returns a pointer to a file name, in the
-.Dv P_tmpdir
-directory, which
-did not reference an existing file at some indeterminate point in the
-past.
-.Dv P_tmpdir
-is defined in the include file
-.Aq Pa stdio.h .
-If the argument
-.Fa s
-is
-.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
-the file name is copied to the buffer it references.
-Otherwise, the file name is copied to a static buffer.
-In either case,
-.Fn tmpnam
-returns a pointer to the file name.
-.Pp
-The buffer referenced by
-.Fa s
-is expected to be at least
-.Dv L_tmpnam
-bytes in length.
-.Dv L_tmpnam
-is defined in the include file
-.Aq Pa stdio.h .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn tempnam
-function
-is similar to
-.Fn tmpnam ,
-but provides the ability to specify the directory which will
-contain the temporary file and the file name prefix.
-.Pp
-The environment variable
-.Ev TMPDIR
-(if set), the argument
-.Fa tmpdir
-(if
-.Pf non- Dv NULL ) ,
-the directory
-.Dv P_tmpdir ,
-and the directory
-.Pa /tmp
-are tried, in the listed order, as directories in which to store the
-temporary file.
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Fa prefix ,
-if
-.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
-is used to specify a file name prefix, which will be the
-first part of the created file name.
-.Fn Tempnam
-allocates memory in which to store the file name; the returned pointer
-may be used as a subsequent argument to
-.Xr free 3 .
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-The
-.Fn tmpfile
-function
-returns a pointer to an open file stream on success, and a
-.Dv NULL
-pointer
-on error.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn tmpnam
-and
-.Fn tempfile
-functions
-return a pointer to a file name on success, and a
-.Dv NULL
-pointer
-on error.
-.Sh ERRORS
-The
-.Fn tmpfile
-function
-may fail and set the global variable
-.Va errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library functions
-.Xr fdopen 3
-or
-.Xr mkstemp 3 .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn tmpnam
-function
-may fail and set
-.Va errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library function
-.Xr mktemp 3 .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn tempnam
-function
-may fail and set
-.Va errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library functions
-.Xr malloc 3
-or
-.Xr mktemp 3 .
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr mkstemp 3 ,
-.Xr mktemp 3
-.Sh STANDARDS
-The
-.Fn tmpfile
-and
-.Fn tmpnam
-functions
-conform to
-.St -ansiC .
-.Sh BUGS
-These interfaces are provided for System V and
-.Tn ANSI
-compatibility only.
-The
-.Xr mkstemp 3
-interface is strongly preferred.
-.Pp
-There are four important problems with these interfaces (as well as
-with the historic
-.Xr mktemp 3
-interface).
-First, there is an obvious race between file name selection and file
-creation and deletion.
-Second, most historic implementations provide only a limited number
-of possible temporary file names (usually 26) before file names will
-start being recycled.
-Third, the System V implementations of these functions (and of
-.Xr mktemp 3 )
-use the
-.Xr access 2
-function to determine whether or not the temporary file may be created.
-This has obvious ramifications for setuid or setgid programs, complicating
-the portable use of these interfaces in such programs.
-Finally, there is no specification of the permissions with which the
-temporary files are created.
-.Pp
-This implementation does not have these flaws, but portable software
-cannot depend on that.
-In particular, the
-.Fn tmpfile
-interface should not be used in software expected to be used on other systems
-if there is any possibility that the user does not wish the temporary file to
-be publicly readable and writable.
