mktemp(3C) — sys5



MKTEMP(3C)      DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)      MKTEMP(3C)



NAME
     mktemp - make a unique filename

USAGE
     char *mktemp (template)
     char *template;

DESCRIPTION
     Mktemp replaces the contents of the string pointed to by
     template with a unique filename, and returns the address of
     template.  The string in template looks like a filename with
     six trailing Xs; mktemp will replace the Xs with a letter
     and the current process ID.  The letter is chosen so that
     the resulting name does not duplicate an existing file.

NOTES
     It is possible to run out of letters.
