NAME
     tmpfile - create a temporary file

USAGE
     #include <stdio.h>
     FILE *tmpfile()


DESCRIPTION
     Tmpfile creates a temporary file with a name generated by
     tmpnam(3S), and returns a corresponding FILE pointer.  If
     the file cannot be opened, an error message is printed using
     perror(3C), and a NULL pointer is returned.  The file will
     automatically be deleted when the process using it ter-
     minates.  The file is opened for writing ("w+").
