SYNOPSIS
       #include <libexplain/mkostemp.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  explain_mkostemp_or_die  function  is  used  to call the mkostemp(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from the explain_mkostemp(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The explain_mkostemp_on_error function is used to call the mkostemp(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,
       obtained from the explain_mkostemp(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

       templat The template, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system call.

       flags   The flags, exactly as to be passed to the mkostemp(3) system call.

       exits, it does not return.

       The explain_mkostemp_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped mkostemp(3) system call.
