mktemp
MKTEMP(1) User Commands MKTEMP(1)NAME
mktemp - create a temporary file or directory
SYNOPSIS
mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]
DESCRIPTION
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name. If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.
-d, --directory
create a directory, not a file
-q, --quiet
suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
-u, --dry-run
do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
--tmpdir[=DIR]
interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR. If DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With this option, TEMPLATE must not be
an absolute name. Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but even here, mktemp still creates only the final component.
-p DIR use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]
-t interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory specified via -p;
else /tmp [deprecated]
--help display this help and exit
--version
