.\" Add any additional description here
11
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.
12
TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last component.
13
If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and \fB\-\-tmpdir\fR is implied.
14
Files are created u+rw, and directories u+rwx, minus umask restrictions.
16
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-directory\fR
17
create a directory, not a file
19
\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-dry\-run\fR
20
do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
22
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
23
suppress diagnostics about file/dir\-creation failure
25
\fB\-\-suffix\fR=\fISUFF\fR
26
append SUFF to TEMPLATE. SUFF must not contain slash.
27
This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X.
29
\fB\-\-tmpdir\fR[=\fIDIR\fR]
30
interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR. If DIR is not
31
specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With
32
this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name.
33
Unlike with \fB\-t\fR, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
34
mktemp creates only the final component
37
use DIR as a prefix; implies \fB\-t\fR [deprecated]
40
interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
41
relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
42
directory specified via \fB\-p\fR; else /tmp [deprecated]
45
display this help and exit
48
output version information and exit
