  35 /* Generate a temporary file name based on TMPL.  TMPL must match the
  36    rules for mk[s]temp (i.e. end in "XXXXXX", possibly with a suffix).
  37    The name constructed does not exist at the time of the call to
  38    gen_tempname.  TMPL is overwritten with the result.

  41    GT_NOCREATE:         simply verify that the name does not exist
  42                         at the time of the call.
  43    GT_FILE:             create a large file using open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL)
  44                         and return a read-write fd.  The file is mode 0600.
  45    GT_DIR:              create a directory, which will be mode 0700.
