Originální popis anglicky:
mkstemp - make a unique filename
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <stdlib.h>
int mkstemp(char *
template);
The
mkstemp() function shall replace the contents of the string pointed
to by
template by a unique filename, and return a file descriptor for
the file open for reading and writing. The function thus prevents any possible
race condition between testing whether the file exists and opening it for use.
The string in
template should look like a filename with six trailing
'X' s;
mkstemp() replaces each
'X' with a character from
the portable filename character set. The characters are chosen such that the
resulting name does not duplicate the name of an existing file at the time of
a call to
mkstemp().
Upon successful completion,
mkstemp() shall return an open file
descriptor. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned if no suitable file could be
created.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
The following example creates a file with a 10-character name beginning with the
characters
"file" and opens the file for reading and writing.
The value returned as the value of
fd is a file descriptor that
identifies the file.
#include <stdlib.h>
...
char template[] = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
int fd;
fd = mkstemp(template);
It is possible to run out of letters.
The
mkstemp() function need not check to determine whether the filename
part of
template exceeds the maximum allowable filename length.
None.
