-.Sh NAME
-.Nm mktemp
-.Nd make temporary file name (unique)
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Fd #include <unistd.h>
-.Ft char *
-.Fn mktemp "char *template"
-.Ft int
-.Fn mkstemp "char *template"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn mktemp
-function
-takes the given file name template and overwrites a portion of it
-to create a file name.
-This file name is unique and suitable for use
-by the application.
-The template may be any file name with some number of
-.Ql X Ns s
-appended
-to it, for example
-.Pa /tmp/temp.XXXX .
-The trailing
-.Ql X Ns s
-are replaced with the current process number and/or a
-unique letter combination.
-The number of unique file names
-.Fn mktemp
-can return depends on the number of
-.Ql X Ns s
-provided; six
-.Ql X Ns s
-will
-result in
-.Fn mktemp
-testing roughly 26 ** 6 combinations.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn mkstemp
-function
-makes the same replacement to the template and creates the template file,
-mode 0600, returning a file descriptor opened for reading and writing.
-This avoids the race between testing for a file's existence and opening it
-for use.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-The
-.Fn mktemp
-function
-returns a pointer to the template on success and
-.Dv NULL
-on failure.
-The
-.Fn mkstemp
-function
-returns \-1 if no suitable file could be created.
-If either call fails an error code is placed in the global variable
-.Va errno .
-.Sh ERRORS
-The
-.Fn mktemp
-and
-.Fn mkstemp
-functions
-may set
-.Va errno
-to one of the following values:
-.Bl -tag -width [ENOTDIR]
-.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
-The pathname portion of the template is not an existing directory.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn mktemp
-and
-.Fn mkstemp
-functions
-may also set
-.Va errno
-to any value specified by the
-.Xr stat 2
-function.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn mkstemp
-function
-may also set
-.Va errno
-to any value specified by the
-.Xr open 2
-function.
-.Sh NOTES
-A common problem that results in a core dump is that the programmer
-passes in a read-only string to
-.Fn mktemp
-or
-.Fn mkstemp .
-This is common with programs that were developed before
-.St -ansiC
-compilers were common.
-For example, calling
-.Fn mkstemp
-with an argument of
-.Qq /tmp/tempfile.XXXXXX
-will result in a core dump due to
-.Fn mkstemp
-attempting to modify the string constant that was given.
-If the program in question makes heavy use of that type
-of function call, you do have the option of compiling the program
-so that it will store string constants in a writable segment of memory.
-See
-.Xr gcc 1
-for more information.
