mktemp

mktemp(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						mktemp(3C)

NAME

       mktemp - make a unique file name  from a template

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *mktemp(char *template);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mktemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to by template with a unique file name, and returns template. The string
       in template should look like a file name with six trailing 'X's; mktemp() will replace the 'X's with a character string that can be used to
       create a unique file name. Only 26 unique file names per thread can be created for each unique template.

RETURN VALUES

       The mktemp() function returns the pointer template. If a unique name cannot be created, template points to a null string.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Generate a filename.

       The  following example replaces the contents of the "template" string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters "file" and
       returns a pointer to the "template" string that contains the new filename.

       #include <stdlib.h>
       ...
       char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
       char *ptr;
       ptr = mktemp(template);

USAGE

       Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for some other process to create a file with the same name.  The
       mkstemp(3C) function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.
