mktemp - make a unique filename (
LEGACY)
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <stdlib.h>
char *mktemp(char *
template);
The
mktemp() function shall replace the contents of the string pointed to
by
template by a unique filename and return
template. The
application shall initialize
template to be a filename with six
trailing
'X' s;
mktemp() shall replace each
'X' with a
single byte character from the portable filename character set.
The
mktemp() function shall return the pointer
template. If a
unique name cannot be created,
template shall point to a null string.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
The following example replaces the contents of the
"template"
string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters
"file" and returns a pointer to the
"template" string that contains the new filename.
#include <stdlib.h>
...
char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
char *ptr;
ptr = mktemp(template);
Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for
some other process to create a file with the same name. The
mkstemp()
function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.
None.
This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
