It uses tempnam(3) to choose the name and opens it with O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL. The filename is printed on standard output. The directory to place the file is searched for in the following order: a) The directory specified by the environment variable __TMPDIR__, if it is writable. b) The directory specified by the __--directory__ argument, if given. c) The directory ''/tmp''. Debian packages using __tempfile__ in maintainer scripts must depend on debianutils __ !!OPTIONS __-d, --directory__ ''DIR'' Place the file in DIR. __-p, --prefix__ ''STRING'' Use up to five letters of STRING to generate the name. __-s, --suffix__ ''STRING'' Generate the file with STRING as the suffix. __-m, --mode__ ''MODE'' Open the file with MODE instead of 0600. __-n, --name__ ''FILE'' Use FILE for the name instead of tempnam(3)__.__ The options -d, -p, and -s are ignored if this option is given. __--help__ Print a usage message on standard output and exit succesfully. __--version__ Print version information on standard output and exist succesfully. !!RETURN VALUES An exit status of 0 means the temporary file was created succesfully.
