NAME

mktemp - make a unique filename (LEGACY)

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

char *mktemp(char *template);

DESCRIPTION

The mktemp() function shall replace the contents of the string pointed to by template by a unique filename and return template. The application shall initialize template to be a filename with six trailing 'X' s; mktemp() shall replace each 'X' with a single byte character from the portable filename character set.

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

Generating 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);

APPLICATION 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() function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
