22 char *mktemp (
24 /* SYNOPSIS */
25 char *template)
27 /* FUNCTION
28 Make a unique temporary file name.
30 INPUTS
31 template - template to change into unique filename
33 RESULT
34 Returns template.
36 NOTES
37 Template must end in "XXXXXX" (i.e at least 6 X's).
39 Prior to this paragraph being created, mktemp() sometimes produced filenames
40 with '/' in them. AROS doesn't like that at all. Fortunately, the bug in this
41 function which produced it has been fixed. -- blippy
43 For clarity, define the HEAD of the template to be the part before the tail,
44 and the TAIL to be the succession of X's. So in, T:temp.XXXXXX , the head is
45 T:temp. and the tail is XXXXXX .
47 EXAMPLE
49 BUGS
50 Cannot create more than 26 filenames for the same process id. This is because
51 the "bumping" is only done to the first tail character - it should be
52 generalised to bump more characters if necessary.
