MKTEMP(1)                        User Commands                       MKTEMP(1)
NAME
       mktemp - create a temporary file or directory
SYNOPSIS
       mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]
DESCRIPTION
       Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.  TEM-
       PLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last  component.   If
       TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.
       Files are created u+rw, and directories  u+rwx,  minus  umask  restric-
       tions.
       -d, --directory
              create a directory, not a file
       -u, --dry-run
              do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
       -q, --quiet
              suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
       --suffix=SUFF
              append  SUFF  to  TEMPLATE; SUFF must not contain a slash.  This
              option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X
       -p DIR, --tmpdir[=DIR]
              interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not specified, use
              $TMPDIR  if set, else /tmp.  With this option, TEMPLATE must not
              be an absolute  name;  unlike  with  -t,  TEMPLATE  may  contain
              slashes, but mktemp creates only the final component
       -t     interpret  TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to
              a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory  specified  via
              -p; else /tmp [deprecated]
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
