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.  TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last component.	If
       TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.	Files  are  created  u+rw,  and  directories  u+rwx,  minus  umask
       restrictions.

       -d, --directory
	      create a directory, not a file

       -u, --dry-run
	      do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

       -q, --quiet
	      suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure

       --suffix=SUFF
	      append SUFF to TEMPLATE; SUFF must not contain a slash.  This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X

       -p DIR, --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 mktemp creates only the final component

       -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
	      output version information and exit
