NAME
      tmpfile - create a temporary file

SYNOPSIS
      #include <stdio.h>

      FILE *tmpfile (void);

DESCRIPTION
      tmpfile creates a temporary file using a name generated by the tmpnam
      routine and returns a corresponding FILE pointer.  If the file cannot be
      opened, a NULL pointer is returned.  The file is automatically deleted
      when the process using it terminates or when the file is closed.  The
      file is opened for update ("w+").
