21 # Usage: mktempd /tmp phoey.XXXXXXXXXX
23 # First, try to use the mktemp program.
24 # Failing that, we'll roll our own mktemp-like function:
25 # - try to get random bytes from /dev/urandom
26 # - failing that, generate output from a combination of quickly-varying
27 # sources and gzip. Ignore non-varying gzip header, and extract
28 # "random" bits from there.
29 # - given those bits, map to file-name bytes using tr, and try to create
30 # the desired directory.
31 # - make only $MAX_TRIES attempts
